If you sleep 4 hours a night for 5 nights, you wind up 15 hours short. Why would one expect to make up for that with 3 "extra" hours?
Really though, the math is pretty unsurprising isn't it? Optimum sleep time is usually considered 7 or 8 hours, we'll say 7. If you sleep 4 hours a night for 5 nights, you wind up 15 hours short. Why would one expect to make up for that with 3 "extra" hours?

It isn't self evident. That's why research and studies are performed. We can assume or think a lot of things are self evident, but if there isn't any hard facts lying around, we can never be sure.
This pattern repeats almost without fail.
