Heart It
The study indicates that the extra amount of sleep in the weekend might not only make you gain weight but can also have a major effect on your heart. This happens when you abruptly adjust your "circadian rhythm" or sleep cycle.
As per the lead researcher Christopher Depner, the muscle- and liver-specific insulin sensitivity of the third group was even worse. The weekend recovery sleep is not an effective way to counter sleep loss during the weekdays.

Bottom line
Then what should be done to catch up on the lost sleep? The National Sleep Foundation suggests that to catch up with lost sleep, one can take 20-30 minutes nap during weekend afternoon rather than turning off the alarm in the morning.
