For some people, this may leave them scratching their heads. While some of the people today are aching to sleep as long as possible, studies from the University of Warwick and University College in London show that sleeping beyond the normal sleeping hours of 6 to 7 hours may be a health risk as well.

Sure you will be getting the standard recharging and sanity but if we are pretty much believers in studies, then this should be something we should take notice of.

But the fact that those who slept considerably more also had a statistically higher mortality rate came as something of a surprise. And the researchers are still at a loss to explain just why the health of these people are adversely affected. “But it might be that abnormal amounts of sleep are tied to conditions such as depression, and physical exhaustion due to an illness already present, such as cancer,” said professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick.
