Reply to comment by Fabulous-Relative333 in Too much or too little sleep could be making you sick more. Those who reported sleeping less than six hours a night were 27% more likely to report a recent infection, and those who reported more than nine hours sleep were 44% more likely to report one. by MistWeaver80

Particularly with "too much sleep," it's usually a symptom of another health issue (like sleep apnea, depression, etc.), rather than the cause of health problems. There's very little evidence that excess sleep is detrimental in people who are healthy.
