Question: Is there really such a thing as getting too much sleep.?
I typically get 6-8 hours of sleep and I'm okay. Last night I slept like 12 hours and I feel completely exhausted today and cannot wake up!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes. It's best to get at least two hours of sleep before midnight. It's also good to sleep the same hours every day. If you must nap during the day keep it a short one (20 min - half an hour tops!).
Health Question & Answer

yes ;

Very short and very long sleep seems to cause an increase in several illnesses and disorders, including depression, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Another malady caused by too little or too much sleep is migraines. Sleeping too long can have us waking up as tired as if we had too little sleep. If you get your full eight hours sleep every night, more sleep is not what you need. You may be suffering from a disease or disorder that is sapping your energy.Health Question & Answer

You can sleep too much which leaves you feeling worse then if you didn't sleep at all. Most likely you didn't sleep well last night ergo you slept longer but still did not get actual rest.

Get up, get moving and wait until normal bedtime to go to bed tonight. If you still feel badly tomorrow, go to the doctor.Health Question & Answer

Yes and NO, if you are on drugs or drink too much you are probably sleeping too much unless you have a bad coke and acid habit then you are not getting enough sleep. Your body internally knows when you are getting enough sleep and will take care of that need no matter what. Some people require more sleep than others so don't listen to what everybody says about 8hrs. some require more some less.Health Question & Answer

That is a relative answer depending on who you ask. I think that maybe if you slpt too much you might need to eat eventually. Don't forget to the number one human need is to feel in cotrol. As says Maslows hierarchy of needs. So I would assume you might get really depressed.Health Question & Answer
