Answer 2

We all know that the recommended sleep time is 8 hours. Some people work well with less time and others with more. Too much sleep can cause tiredness in the body, so yes it can be bad for you. You just have to know when is a good time to sleep and not to.

Answer 3

This is sort of an unanswerable question because if you don't sleep normally, you will never get enough sleep, and if you do sleep normally, then you won't over sleep.

I spent a lot of time studying sleep, and find it a very interesting and misunderstood topic. People who sleep abnormally and sleep longer than normal sleepers, are doing this in order to make up for what they lack, so it's "normal." There was a study that came out showing that people who napped were more likely to die than those who didn't. The researchers mistakenly concluded napping was bad for you. What this indicated, we now know, was these people had sleep apnea and were overly tired during the day. Sleep apnea leads to heart disease, napping, and early death. Did these people sleep too much or sleep too abnormally? I'd say the they needed sleep studies and BiPaP machines.

In general, if you find you are sleeping for more than 9 hours consistently, or if you need an alarm clock to wake up every day, then something is probably wrong. Most Americans don't get enough sleep, and this can cause all sorts of health problems. Which comes first, we don't know.

Answer 4

I used to sleep too much and it realy was too muh for me. I was depressed and irritable

Answer 5

Sleep is strange, it's both a necessity and a sort of pleasure. I think contemporary studies support the view that about 7 hours is typically necessary to restore the body's processes each night, but there's another aspect in which it feels as if the dreaming is like a pure focusing on a problem in ones thoughts. In that respect the question of necessity seems superfluous.
