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.

Great. Now my risk of dying is now 200%. I’m doomed.

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 habit

LOL!!! It is no allowed to post articles from The Onion on Free Republic.

Oh wait, Fox News?

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

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...

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%.

“Doubles the risk of death” has to be understood statistically, rather than causally. It could be, for example, that lots of sleep is simply an indicator rather than a cause of ill health.
