There has been a general concern in recent years that many of us actually sleep too much. It is assumed that most people get roughly 6 to 6.5 hours of sleep on weeknights. This is presumably a very safe amount of sleep. We likely know people that preach about getting the right amount of sleep each night. They may proudly proclaim that they sleep eight or more hours a night. These people boasting of over sleeping likely aren't familiar with recent studies suggesting that individuals that sleep too much are at a greater health risk than people that sleep less than the recommended 8 hours of sleep. Many people are able to obtain more energy with less sleep because they have essentially mastered the science of sleep. Each of us have an internal sleep clock that regulates our natural circadian rhythm and body temperature to optimize sleep. The general belief is that if we sleep too much we are desynchronizing these natural rhythms. This may be why many people have felt more tired after waking up from a night of with 8 hours of sleep or more in comparison to when they wake up from a night with less sleep. What about the people that claim to feel so good from over sleep? Some experts believe that people that sleep too much are comparable somewhat to overeaters. Sometimes sleep can be a comfort mechanism to block out other problems with our mental state or physical health. A doctor may consider a diagnosis of depression if we suggest that we sleep too much. It's likely that people that sleep too much are responding to a feeling of fatigue their body may be experiencing. Sometimes this feeling is brought on for legitimate physical reasons or sometimes our body is broken down by stress and worry. It's natural to assume that this means more sleep is needed but that isn't the case. The actual sleep quality is an important part of the equation. It's suspected that people spending too much time in bed each night are possibly never achieving deep sleep. They likely have trouble falling asleep initially because they don't properly wind down, becoming legitimately tired, before hitting bed. This temporary insomnia is likely greeted with waking up several times each night, perhaps to visit the bathroom and pretty much just being in and out of sleep throughout the night. The alarm clock sounds and we all want nothing more to sleep in. We fuel up with some caffeine to jumpstart our day because the body is still asleep in some ways. Where is this energy that we are supposed to have from getting enough sleep? It's likely that our body would likely respond better if we adjusted our internal sleep clock and learned to program it for more energy with less sleep.
