A Study Found Too Much Sleep Increases Risk of Death. Here’s Why. : ScienceAlert

Sleep is an essential component of our overall health, along with nutrition and physical activity. The Sleep Health Foundation recommends that adults aim for seven to nine hours of sleep per night to support optimal functioning during waking hours. However, recent studies have raised concerns about the potential negative effects of sleeping too much.

Research suggests that both inadequate sleep (less than seven hours) and excessive sleep (more than nine hours) can be associated with an increased risk of health problems and even mortality. While insufficient sleep has been linked to a range of health issues such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, mental health problems, cancer, and mortality, sleeping too much has also been found to pose risks, including depression, chronic pain, weight gain, and metabolic disorders.

It’s important to note that the relationship between excessive sleep and poor health is complex and multifaceted. Factors such as chronic health conditions, lifestyle behaviors, and medication side effects can influence the amount of time individuals spend sleeping. In some cases, excessive sleep may be a symptom rather than a cause of underlying health issues.

The ideal amount of sleep can vary depending on individual differences and life stages. While teenagers may require slightly more sleep than adults, older adults may naturally spend more time in bed. For most adults, aiming for seven to nine hours of good quality sleep, along with maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, is crucial for overall health.

Instead of fixating on the potential risks of sleeping too much, it’s essential to focus on ensuring that we are getting enough quality sleep. Establishing good sleep hygiene practices, such as getting sunlight exposure, staying active during the day, and creating a relaxing bedtime routine, can help promote better sleep habits.

If you find yourself consistently sleeping longer than usual or experiencing sleep disturbances, it may be helpful to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. Prioritizing sleep health and addressing any underlying issues can contribute to overall well-being and quality of life.
