Too much sleep is 'AS bad for your health as smoking and drinking alcohol': More than 9 hours a night means you're '4 TIMES more likely to die early'

  • Sleeping more than 9 hours puts you at a higher risk of premature death
  • Inactive people who sleep and sit a lot are 4 times as likely to die young
  • Researchers said this combination is as deadly as smoking and drinking
  • The results come from 45 And Up, Australia's largest health study

 

We’re often told that sleep is the best medicine.

But, a new study revealed that too much sleep is hazardous to your health.

Sleeping more than nine hours a night – combined with sitting too much during the day and a lack of exercise – can be just as bad for you as smoking and drinking alcohol.

People living sedentary lives are four times as likely to die early, experts warned.

 

We are all doomed!

Not enough sleep will kill you. too much sleep will kill you. The bottom line seems to be that you will die.

 

I do love the studies that help us live better lives...

Bacon, no bacon....

Eggs=cholesterol vs Eggs don't = cholesterol

Global warming

Dogs and cats living together.

rainfall and wetness.

Sigh...

 

Is there a "study" that actually helps people?

Anybody got one that actually makes sense?

 

No, not the lesbian sex study. but you have already clicked the link haven't you....

The media doesn't lead us around by the topic of the day...... or do they?

Here's the science of the "Other" study.

Now we are "Super Sleepers"!

How humans have evolved into 'supersleepers': Researchers find we get better sleep in less time than our nearest relatives
  • Humans sleep an average of 7 hours, while other primates sleep up to 17
  • Longer periods of deep sleep stages help humans rest more efficiently
  • Early humans shortened their sleep patterns long before artificial light
