The Negative Effects of Too Much Sleep

The negative effects of too much sleep can be just as problematic as those of too little sleep. The condition is technically known as hypersomnia and can negatively impact your health. Getting too much sleep increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, and obesity. Indeed, the risks posed by getting too much sleep are actually even greater than from getting too little sleep.

Indications

After sleeping more than 10 hours, if you awaken feeling tired and worn down, it may be a sign that you are suffering from too much sleep. In addition, other symptoms may include:

• Excessive daytime napping
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Headaches

Studies suggest that, in addition to increasing the risk of illness such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, the negative effects of too much sleep also include exacerbated body inflammation and weakened immune system function.

If your oversleeping is not due to any serious underlying conditions, there are a few simple things you can do to bring it under control.

Regular Sleep Schedule

Make sure you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. This will help prevent oversleeping.

Maintain a Positive Bedtime Routine

Sticking to a bedtime routine comprised of calming and relaxing activities will help you prepare for sleep. Avoid light from electronics, as these may impede sleep onset.

Proper Sleep Environment

Help reduce the likelihood of oversleeping, or any other sleep disruptions, by maintaining a comfortable, sleep-conducive environment. Make sure to keep it at a comfortable temperature and free of unnecessary noise or light.

Stay Active

Regular daily exercise, as well as sunlight exposure, contributes to quality sleep at night.  Be sure to avoid any vigorous or excessive exercise close to your bedtime.
