Revise One Weekend Rest Window Without a Monday Catch-Up Promise
Compare one workday and one weekend day using the same fields: intended and actual evening end, wake time, time in bed, naps, late meals or caffeinated drinks, entertainment, and next-day self-reported alertness. Keep the record descriptive: it lists observable schedule facts, assigns no cause, and promises no future result. Start from the completed workday and weekend cards; freeze their original times and words before choosing any revision. Label the exact date, local time zone, and whether the next day follows a fixed work commitment or a freely chosen schedule.

Close with observed, mixed or unknown, state the one field that changed, and make no claim that Monday time was recovered.

Common questions
Should I add several weekends?
No. Complete one workday–weekend pair first; another pair belongs to a separately dated record.
Does a longer weekend interval show that weekday time was recovered?
No. The cards show timing differences only and do not establish recovery or a future result.
Can I change both bedtime and getting-up time?
Not in one comparison. Choose one personally controlled boundary or close without a revision.
