Why do animals sleep? Why do humans 'waste' a third of their lives sleeping? Researchers now reveal a novel and unexpected function of sleep that they believe could explain how sleep and sleep disturbances affect brain performance, aging and various brain disorders. Using 3D time-lapse imaging techniques in live zebrafish, they were able to define sleep in a single chromosome resolution and show that single neurons require sleep in order to perform nuclear maintenance.

I've been trying to make it 2/3 not 1/3 for me. I also encourage "depressed, sad, stressed, etc" people to nap/sleep more for a healthier mind, more relaxation, and a happier you.  |

Multiple studies have found that people who sleep nine or more hours a night have significantly higher death rates than people sleeping seven to eight hours a night. No specific reason for this correlation has been determined. But researchers found that depression and low socioeconomic status are also associated with longer sleep. They speculate these factors could be related to the observed increase in mortality for people who sleep too much. Physical Side Effects of OversleepingOversleeping has been linked to a host of medical problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and increased risk of death. If you average more than seven or eight hours of sleep per night, see a doctor for a checkup. The doctor can help you determine why you oversleep. Regardless of the cause of your oversleeping, practicing good sleep hygiene will help you reap the benefits of a healthy seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Experts recommend keeping the same bedtimes and wake times every day. They also recommend avoiding caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime. Exercising regularly and making your bedroom a comfortable environment that's conducive to sleep will help you get the amount of sleep you need. |

I usually sleep 6-8 hours, my sleeping schedule gets messed up a lot though. I can function off of very little sleep, I don’t like sleeping. It often takes me to the point of feeling exhausted till I’m ready to actually lay down and sleep because I’d rather spend my time doing something else.

It often takes me to the point of feeling exhausted till I’m ready to actually lay down and sleep because I’d rather spend my time doing something else. 6-8 is normal. If I sleep more than 7.5 hours, it will ruin my whole day because it gives me feelings like sickness and bad mood. |

Generally that is the case for me as well, I will feel lethargic and sometimes I will wake with a headache if I sleep past 7.5 or 8 hours. |

My dear sister; if you sleep for more than 9 hours, you should visit a doctor. That's all. |
