| While the dangers of sleeping less than 8 hours are widely known, sleeping too much can also be detrimental to your health. According to this article from Reuters Health News, people who sleep around 9 hours or more have more trouble staying asleep and falling asleep than those who slept just 8 hours a night.
The recommendation for people who "oversleep" is to cut down sleep to just 8 to 8.5 hours a night. Naturally, the article says that more studies need to be done to confirm this finding. :D
I say, if you sleep too much, I don't care how high your metabolism is, but you will eventually become a fat bastard.

| I say that you are going to die either way, so sleep as long as you can and, if you want, excersize when you aren't enjoying peaceful slumber.
>> Spaztic |
| You are both correct. Cobra is right because without enough sleep, the body will break down.
Spaztic, you're also right because everybody will die someday. But then as long as we are alive, shouldn't we make sure that we're in peak condition?

| I used to sleep about 9 hours a day, and then I changed my sleeping habbit and cut it down to 7 hours a day. From all that I remember and can figure out, the only thing that changed was that I got an extra two hours of being awake (which is nice).

| Monolith's statement about his sleeping patterns and effects on him are proof that just because one study says something, you should find out if it works for you.
For instance, if a study says chocolate is good and a lot of others confirm it, it still doesn't mean you should just throw back tons of it. If you have phenylketonuria, you can actually DIE from eating chocolate (no b.s.). ;)

| You could read a study that says chocolate is good, throw back tons of it, accrue over eight hours of sleep, and become a very fat bastard.
I sleep like, ten hours if I can, and I eat ice cream like it's the night before I go on death row, and I'm a twig. I weight 100 lbs. I never excersise. Ever. I've ran probably four times in my life and the gym is a mystery to me. I say that Lama is wrong and has been wrong all along. He just wants us to his fitness club and worship the stairmaster god. He needs guidance. Lama, please.

Of rather, you wish people would become fat bastards if they sleep too much?

Twas a farthing from the sprinkled sandy beaches and twisted piles of brambles and pebbles near the stony brooks of our favourite internet lavatory. Spaztic sat there, pondering in quite the state of refined and etymologically pleasing wankery. This peice of work he had devised, so clever in its retarded drollery, was copyrighted 2001-2004 by himself. That is, discluding those portions not specifically designed by himself hitherto the inclusion of aforementioned stupid fucking shit on that site.

That didn't make any sense. AutoVoice is no longer God, because AutoVoice died. Fun is still way over safety, and dirtylaundry is banned forever and forever. Amen. Ask the British to adopt my sister, sir cretin. reg ;) is the king of buh. Disclaimers are so cliche in that ours is dumb. I am a poseur. Lets all bathe in the meat wagon.
