recommended hours of sleep is about 8.5 - 9.25 hours for my age,
but during the holidays i sometimes get like ... 10 or 11 hours ? O_______O
{ i sleep really late & wake up during the afternoon .. }

so i know how not sleeping enough gives you dark under-eye circles & eye-bags,
but does OVERSLEEPING have any effect on your physical appearance?
are there any effects at all? apart from being sluggish & drowsy ..

[BoAFriend]

Only physical effect I can think of is...you might have marks in your face if you've slept in a weird position. And this doesn't happen to everyone, but sometimes your skin will happen to look better than when you went sleep because I guess you got a lot of rest?

But yeah overall, try not to oversleep. The slugginess and grugginess is not worth it at all. Sometimes, you even wake up feeling a lot more tired than rested

[YummiYummi]

I oversleep ALOT. And well nothing so far has happened to me. ^^

[ken5iii]

its normal for teens to oversleep
in fact, you're supposed to be oversleeping because it helps in your development

[pinkiipromise]

when i oversleep, in which i do a lot, i usually feel like sleeping even more & i wake up feeling all dizzy & stuff..

my mom is a biggggg health freak and she has all these health magazines around the house.
I picked one up the other day and i read that according to a recent medical study oversleeping(sleeping more than the average sleeping time for your age) can actually shorten your life by 7 years
too much sleep=shorter life span D: ~ ?!
i read some stuff in the internet about it too.


personally im a night person (vampire^^ jk), and i sleep for about 7 hours, sometimes less ><
but i have lazy days when i sleep in for like almost 12 hours , i wont be doing that anymore.
AHHHH~ don't want to die early

[twinkle_l0ve]

I dunno about scientifically
but when I oversleep randomly (i.e. after like a week of regular sleep or no sleep at all), I feel ever more tired and lethargic

Gees, you scared me when you said that! You actually made me google it to find out more info.
you should read this article:

Don't know how reliable it is, but sounds interesting.

[ninyaah]

i tend to over-sleep a lot. but i always sleep late. =.= the only bad thing that i get is i become more cranky and more lazy.

[Millou]

I've read in a magazine that oversleeping will shorten your lifespan.

*paraphrased from health magazine, July/August 2008

"Getting only five to six hours of sleep makes it hard to fight flab, according to researchers at Laval University in Quebec. But guess what? Too much sleep won't help shrink a muffin top, either."

Long Sleepers (9-10 hours) are...
-21% more likely to become obese than those who sleep 7-8 hours
-gained 94% more body fat than those who sleep 7-8 hours
-25% more likely to gain 11 pounds than those who sleep 7-8 hours

Short Sleepers (5-6 hours) are...
-27% more likely to become obese than those who sleep 7-8 hours
-gained 124% body fat than those who sleep 7-8 hours
-35% more likely to gain 11 pounds than those who sleep 7-8 hours

so yeah...not sleeping enough seems to be worse, but oversleeping isn't that great either. i really thing 7-8 hours is the magic number. if i oversleep i feel sleepy still and fall asleep during lectures and i just feel sluggish all day.

[prisonerzero]

When I oversleep, I actually end up getting more tired than usual.

[vi0letstarx]

i sleep for 10 to 14 hours during weekends ! ^O^
but..
how can 7 to 8 hours of sleep be enough ?
i think i feel more tired when i only get 8 hours of sleep.. ~.~


^O^

[vietbabi]

Usually when I oversleep, I tend to get headaches when I wake up. That's about it...

[Zobia]

I always oversleep on the weekend but i need to catch up on my sleep
I didn't know that oversleeping was bad for you, well exept for the slugishness after which i hate sine it makes me feel really tired for the rest of the day
I'm gonna try and stick to the recommended amount now
