"You can borrow time, but you can't steal it... You cannot cheat sleep indefinitely. And the longer you try to borrow against sleep, the more your body (or God) will force you to pay for those hours -- plus interest." -- Kevin DeYoung, Crazy Busy
You can borrow time from tomorrow by staying up late tonight, but you can't steal it. It comes out of the account. Time you should have been sleeping can be borrowed to complete a project, but you never get away without the bank noticing. Sleep debt cannot be waived without a payment. It will either show up in your shortness, in your attention span, in your productivity, in your weekend plans, in your health, etc... but rest assured, if you do not rest, you surely will pay for it. And even when it is acknowledged as a loan and not attempted robbery, it still puts you at the mercy of your creditor. While borrowing time is less egregious than filching it, it is not without its own consequences. The borrower's wishes are always at the whims of the lender.
Proverbs 22:7
The borrower is the slave of the lender.
