People who sleep 10 hours a night might be increasing their mortality rate. Are you concerned about the health effects of sleeping too much?

Lack of sleep can effect memory and concentration. So the risks of being involved in a traffic accident are probably much higher than the long term increase in the cancer risk rate.
In addition I find that if I don't get enough sleep I'm unable to concentrate and so my performance at work suffers as well. So given the choice between 5 hours of sleep or 10 hours of sleep, I'd strongly go for more sleep despite what the survey says

Most of the time I'm lucky to sleep more then 5 hours. Lately I've been sleeping about 7 hours and waking up feeling sluggish and tired all day. I think the mortality rate is more a concern based on good sleep or bad sleep. Good sleep being peaceful, sound, rpm sleep. Bad sleep being tossing and turning all night, waking up off and on all night long, etc.

That said, I will say that when I sleep for a long time (9 hours or more), I often end up waking up with a headache and more tired than I was when I went to bed the night before. There is something about not being used to sleeping that much that makes it more detrimental than beneficial.
But that happens almost never, so I feel pretty safe.

Sometimes medications make people sleep to much, I know the ones I recently went on for my heart made me way to tired. I need the pills, and simply adjusted the time schedule. I was sleeping the 8 at night plus a few naps in the day, it was exhausting. I could not get work done, I could not focus on writing and lacked the energy for housework most days.
I am very concerned about sleeping too much, as I am a single mom, without me working I am not getting pad. That means sooner or later there would be no food on my table and no roof over our heads. I adjusted my meds and now only do one nap a day and am feeling much better. I cannot skip the pills altogether, or I would have more heart attacks.

So even if there are health problems associated with sleeping too much -- it seems possible, but medical studies come up with all sorts of possibilities -- I will never, ever, ever have to worry about them.
