Piotr Wozniak would argue that people who oversleep were sleep-deprived to begin with—you couldn’t sleep 11 hours a day arbitrarily long, eventually you will have fully paid back your sleep debt, and from that point on you’ll only sleep about 7 or 8 hours a day. (My experience mostly agrees, though in my case at least physical energy seems to matter more than mental energy in determining whether I’ll fall asleep.)
This clashes with my experience. I generally get >8 hours of sleep, and I will oversleep like mad if I don’t have some special reason to get up. (it takes me a while to get to sleep though. How does this affect things?)
I notice that I only have a proper day if I get up when I’m first awake. I’d be interested to know how the causality goes on that.
