Think you can’t get too much of a good thing? When it comes to sleep, you actually can. 😴

Here's the breakdown:
💡The Sweet Spot: While the amount of sleep varies based on factors like age and lifestyle, the target range for most adults is 7–9 hours.
📋 Symptoms: Frequently oversleeping may indicate hypersomnia, a condition marked by extreme daytime sleepiness, sleeping up to 18 hours a day, taking multiple daily naps, or still feeling exhausted after waking up.
⚠️ The Health Risks: Oversleeping from short-term sleep deprivation can cause temporary anxiety, brain fog, and low energy. However, chronic oversleeping is linked to higher long-term risks, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease, and diabetes.
