I think I sleep too much at night ~ and from what I read online it's not healthy and shortens the lifespan
If there's nothing on TV that holds my attention, I'll fall asleep at around 9 pm and then don't wake up until 7 am ~ that's 10 hours of sleep. I feel good and am healthy ~ but the experts say that's too much sleep
ANY COMMENTS ? HOW MUCH SLEEP is enough for you to function optimally ??

I cat nap, maybe two to three hours at a time. I'll do that for months and then suddenly start sleeping like a bear in winter for anywhere from a few nights to weeks--not continuous, of course. I hate it. I used to sleep well--anytime, anyplace. LOL
How can more sleep harm you? That's not what I read. I read in Lights Out by T.S. Wiley that it is actually good to sleep a lot three seasons out of the year (fall, winter and spring). 8-10 hours is fine. You could sleep more than that and be in perfectly good shape imo. I am not a doctor but I feel my best when I sleep a lot. Sleep resets all the chemicals like cortisol. The reason so many people are fat these days is because of elevated cortisol due to a lack of sleep. How could anyone be anti sleep? Sounds like bull to me. Read Lights Out and decide for yourself.

No wonder you feel good and healthy.
I try at least 7 hours of sleep, and my schedules are way too tight
If I get less sleep like 6 or 7 hours I have alot of energy.
Of course after a couple of days I do need that 8 to 9 hour night to get back.
I like the energy though
