Introduction: short total sleep time (TST < 6 h) is a strong major health determinant that correlates with numerous metabolic, cardiovascular and mental comorbidities, as well as accidents. Our aim was to better understand, at a population level, how adults adapt their TST during the week, and how short sleepers and those with sleep debt and sleep restriction use napping or catching up on sleep during weekends (ie, sleep debt compensation by sleeping longer), which may prevent these comorbidities. Methods: a large representative sample of 12,367 subjects (18-75 years old) responded by phone to questions about sleep on a national recurrent health poll (Health Barometer, Santé Publique France 2017) assessing sleep schedules (TST) at night, when napping, and over the course of a 24-h period while using a sleep log on workdays and weekends. Retained items were: (1) short sleep (TST ≤ 6 h/24 h); (2) chronic insomnia (international classification of sleep disorders third edition, ICSD-3 criteria); (3) sleep debt (self-reported ideal TST - TST > 60 min, severe 90 min); and (4) sleep restriction (weekend TST - workday TST = 1-2 h, severe 2 h).Results: average TST/24 h was 6h42 (± 3...
