Adequate sleep can not only promote the growth and development of human body, strengthen immunity, but also help the body to fight aging and maintain a good mental state. Generally speaking, the average sleep time of adults should not be less than8 hours, but more than 10 hours, is considered as "excessive sleep".

Meanwhile, a study in the Lancet found that sleepMore than 10 hours have a negative impact on health and life expectancy.

Therefore, too short or too long sleep is not good for our health. This is why most people sleep late at weekends to make up for sleep. Although they have slept for a long time, they do not feel relieved of fatigue, and even feel more tired and dizzy!

Hazards of excessive sleep:

Research shows that if you don't sleep enoughSix hours, the risk of diabetes is about two times higher than that of normal sleepers (7-8 hours). If the sleep time exceeds 8 hours, the risk of diabetes will increase three times.

If you sleep too long at ordinary times, you will reduce the time of exercise, and the energy that your body consumes will not be consumed by the body in time, so it will form fat accumulation, leading to weight gain.

5. Make people stupid

The time of the day is limited. If the sleep time is too long, the waking time and activity time will be reduced, and the human brain will become lazier and lazier, resulting in a decline in brain cell activity.

In the long run, people's memory will decline, and the body and brain's reaction will also decline, resulting in people becoming more and more stupid.

Sleep is about everyone's physical and mental health, and also about everyone's quality of life. We should keep regular work and rest, do not stay up late and do not lie in bed, ensure quality sleep, and stay away from cardiovascular diseases.
