Seven to eight hours of sleep. That's what researchers say is best, and that's what we all shoot for. Does it always happen? In this fast-paced world, constantly connected world, it happens less and less. Just the same, efforts are still made to get in a solid night of shuteye.


But what about the opposite end of the sleep spectrum? You know, when seven or eight hours turns into nine or more hours. Are there any health implications associated with sleeping too much?

It's quite possible, say researchers from the University of Warwick Medical School in England. The British researchers found that people who increased the number of hours they slept per night from seven or eight hours to more than that were twice as likely to die from non-cardiovascular disease within 11-17 years as those who kept sleeping for seven or eight.
