If you sleep, you’re going to die.
If you don’t sleep, you’re going to die.

During my workin life I never got enough sleep. I’ve been retired for 8 years and am not caught up yet.

But they also found that those individuals who showed an increase in sleep duration to eight hours or more a night were more than twice as likely to die as those who had not changed their habitLOL!!! It is no allowed to post articles from The Onion on Free Republic.
Oh wait, Fox News?

Don’t worry about it. You’ll be “asleep” a lot longer than you were ever “awake”...............

Way too much sleep or way too little sleep quadruples the risk of death.
Way way too much sleep or way way to little sleep ups the risk of death eight times.
It you get the perfect amount of sleep, the risk of death is only 100%.

a lack of sleep and too much sleep can more than double the risk of death in individuals
The risk of death in individuals is at 100 percent unless Hillary Kare can somehow lower it. /snic

YEp. Global warming; just poke it with a pin.
Science knowledge is ever-changing. What we knew
as truth yesterday is totally de-bunked today, so indeed, how does anyone rush to judgement about crucial matters such as (man-made) global warming...?
was a time when it was accepted that:
cigarettes were healthy
cocaine was a cure
lead paint was no risk
lots of sunshine was good for ya ...
To: biscuit jane
Some reasons cited for too much sleep included depression, low socioeconomic status and cancer-related fatigue.

Good grief! How moronic is this? Correlation does not equal causation.

I can only quickly think of one way that headline might be so; when one is sleeping on the rairoad track.

That’s not news. People have been dying in their sleep for years. If they’d only stayed awake...

The study supposedly shows that seven hours is the sweet point - less is bad, more is worse.
As one wag said on an earlier thread, “Does that make it 200%?”

I don't believe sleep changes your risk of death one bit. I say the risk of death is 100% no matter how much sleep you do or do not get. And there is not one thing you can do to change that, not even 1%.
