Sleep Pressure
Sleep pressure is the homeostatic drive to sleep that builds the longer you stay awake, linked to adenosine accumulation. Naps and caffeine temporarily mask pressure but do not replace the need for a full night.

Consistent wake times help pressure peak at bedtime instead of mid-afternoon crashes.
