Too Much Sleep Can Kill You
Keele University reports that if you get more than eight hours of sleep per night, you have a greater risk of death than those who sleep for under seven hours.
The researchers reviewed seventy-four studies looking at mortality and cardiovascular outcomes by self reported sleep duration and sleep quality. The study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, took a look at more than three million participants.
The research also found that sleeping for ten hours is further linked to a 56% increased risk of stroke death and a 49% increased risk of cardiovascular disease death. In short, a longer duration of sleep may be more associated with adverse outcomes compared with shorter sleep times.
