How much sleep is too much sleep?

Question

I've been feeling unusually tired and sleepy even after sleeping for 9-10 hours. I'm wondering if sleeping for too long can also be a problem. How much sleep is considered too much sleep for an adult?

Rahul Mehta · Accepted Answer

From a diet perspective, oversleeping can sometimes throw off your eating schedule, leading to irregular meals or late-night binging. Generally, more than 9-10 hours for an adult might be too much. It's important to have consistent routines for both sleep and meals.

Hey! Don't stress too much about this. Generally, if you're regularly sleeping more than 9 or 10 hours and still feeling groggy, it might be too much. Sometimes, more sleep doesn't mean better sleep, just try to hit that 7-9 hour sweet spot for most adults.

I often sleep for 9-10 hours on weekends, and then I feel even more tired during the day. Does anyone else feel like that? I worry if I'm sleeping too much and if it's bad for me. It's confusing!

Shreya Das · Answer

For me, anything over 9 hours starts making me feel more sluggish than rested. Like I've wasted half the day and still feel drained. So yeah, for most adults, regularly sleeping more than 9-10 hours could be considered too much. It's about finding what keeps you energetic!

Yaar, I've heard too much sleep can actually make you more tired, it's weird. Like, if you're consistently doing 10+ hours as an adult, that might be too much. Actually, 7-9 hours is the sweet spot, above that, your body might just be getting lazy, na?
