Sleeping in on Weekends Can Be Okay.
While ideally adolescents and young adults would get adequate sleep during the week and wake at consistent times each day, this is not always the case. In a study of nearly 1,100 adolescents and young adults, those who routinely slept in on weekends to compensate for lost sleep had a 41% lower risk of daily depressive symptoms than their peers who experienced insufficient sleep but did not catch up on weekends.
