(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-02-09)

I have a doubt reg. sleep deprivation.

I did not sleep for past 24 hours(Because I did not feel sleepy),but slept the next day for full 8 hours. I do not feel the difference So my questions are,

1. Should I compensate this 8 hours(which I did not sleep)?
2. Will this damage my brain(If it happens once) ?
