Is Sleeping 10 - 12 h per night too much?

It's better than getting little to no sleep, however it would be better if you got into the 8 hour sleep routine instead. Too much sleep is bad for your back, make you more prone to weight gain, heart disease, and usually it is more likely that one over sleeps because one has depression.

However at the teenage/young adult age it is very common to have odd sleeping habits because of our biological clock and changing bodies so I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Still try to sleep 8 hours instead.

For your age group, it's over the average but I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with it. If you're concerned, you can always go to the doctor and get your thyroid checked as a precaution.

[Asker]

thyroid why? I don't what's it

[9mfeo]

If you sleep all the time and are always exhausted, you could have hypothyroidism.

[MG-TOW]

Difficult to say.
Have you got a busy live? Then I'd say yes.
If not, then no.

Sleep is however something you get used to. I sleep 6 to 8 hours and I am fine. But If I start to sleep 12 hours a day for 3 weeks straight I would not have enough sleep if suddenly start to sleep 11 hours a day.

[Asker]

I don't sleep a lot the week around 5 - 6 h and the week end and during vacancy I sleep 10 - 12 h each night

[GingerGuy]

It's not bad for you and if you need it then don't worry about it. Enjoy it now because it won't likely last as you get older. I'm lucky if I sleep past 6hrs now and I've slept 12 before when I was younger.

[Asker]

why do you only sleep 6 h?

[GingerGuy]

Just my internal clock. All my body needs I guess. I wake up and usually wide awake and can't get back to sleep.

[Asker]

I wake up after 9 h to sleep, I drinks some water go to the toilet and just go back to sleep

[GingerGuy]

Awesome. Too much sleep is better than not enough :)

[Stacyzee]

Yes.
That is the recommended sleep for my kid that is 6 years old.
A fully grown adult such as yourself doesn't need that much sleep.
I'd think something was seriously wrong...

[Asker]

I sleep around 5 - 6 per week and the week end and vacancy 10 - 12 h everyday, I even feel sleepy all day long

[Stacyzee]

Have you tried looking at your diet? There's no reason why you should feel so low on energy.

[Jbbhaze449]

No, people are different. Only one who could really answer that for you specifically would be a doctor. But it's not really something to see the doctor over.

[Levin]

Depends on your lifestyle. It can be an indication of depression and bad health (lack of material orientation).

[Asker]

I go to school to 7 h at 18 h

[Jxpxtxr]

It's perfectly fine. Some people just need more sleep than others, I even sleep 13 hours sometimes and I feel very well rested once I wake up 😛

[luvstoned4him]

It seem long but your bother may be resetting after some strenous work or late nighthers. Your body will do what it has to keep you in shape.

[Red_Arrow]

It is longer than usual, but your body may be going through some grwoth where more sleep is needed.

[Joc4Position]

I doubt it's recommended to sleep no more than 9 hours.

[Joc4Position]

*sleep more than 9 hours.

[Asker]

Why? is it dangerous?

[Joc4Position]

Back pain and headaches. It`s also been linked to things like diabetes and obesity.

[Asker]

I'm far from being obese ^^
but I heard that if you don't sleep you'll be obese and have hearts problem

[Joc4Position]

Not enough sleep causes problems. Too much sleep can too. You don`t hav to be fat to have diabetes. I know some regular sized people with it. Also don`t have to be fat to have back trouble. When I sleep too much I have back trouble myself, so I know it happens.

[Asker]

ok, I understand. That's not cool you have to sleep more than 6 h and less than 9 h so

[Joc4Position]

Yeah. Take care of yourself :)

[MeutiaArianti]

Yes. I've read some articles that the normal sleep is 8 hour per day.

[Applefan1]

Yes, it is too much. I think you are not meant to sleep more than 8 or 9 hours max.

[shy_girl96]

Its not good but its not bad. you should be getting about 8-10 hours sleep each night

[Decentguy]

i think its normal. i love sleep very much, i love sleeping so much that sometimes i wish i could dream of it.

[Asker]

I already dream about me sleeping it was funny

[Decentguy]

you lucky. :(

[Asker]

yes, what do you dream about?

[Decentguy]

mostly nightmares.

[Asker]

aw that's not cool
I have nightmare sometime too and they are really scary

[Decentguy]

hmm, sometimes when i had them i wake up screaming in the middle of my sleep/

[Asker]

they must be really scary so

[Decentguy]

yup, scary as hell.

[Asker]

what do you dream about?

[Decentguy]

you mean nightmares or normal dreams?

[Asker]

nightmares

[Decentguy]

well i can tell you one nightmare because its easy to describe than other nightmares, i was in the middle of my old home and suddenly there was total darkness, and im getting scared because i knew there is someone in the dark but i couldn't see anything and im getting closer in the dark slowly and i getting scared again and again by having that doubt and suddenly a person who was totally black and i could see its only eyes which was very little and red and it came infront me suddenly and trying to take me and then i woke up shouting very loudly in the middle of my sleep.

[MondaysAngel]

If your body is staying asleep for that long, it needs it.

[Anonymous]

If you didn't sleep well the night before or your day was strenuous then i see no harm, teens are actually recommended to sleep that much daily

[Anonymous]

Who cares as long as ur content. I work 14 days straight before my week off. I don't get out of bed on my week off on less then 10hrs

[whatsup123]

if you were 0...6 yo then its ok but you probably more so its bad for you

[Asker]

Why?

[whatsup123]

I watched one guy who were talking about health (he had been living in india for many years)
he said that sleeping much like more then 8 hours is unhealty and you can get sick

[Asker]

Really? I think it was when you sleep less than 6 h

[whatsup123]

yes that too so it should be 6-8

[Offthelist]

2 to 3 is good. 4 max. 12 is wayyy to much.

[Asker]

I use to sleep 3 - 4 when I was younger but not anymore too tired, I was always sleepy and end up sleep everywhere ^^
One time I even sleep during a picnic

[Offthelist]

I don't know i guess i just dont like to sleep

[NerdInDenial]

Are you working out a lot?

[Asker]

I go to school to 7 h at 18 h and I work out 30 min so not a lot

[takumii]

Oversleeping is not healthy,

[Asker]

why?

[takumii]

You can google why it is unhealthy.

[Iron_Man]

To much you become more tired that way

[Asker]

why more tired? what do you mean?

[Iron_Man]

I have heard storys if you lay around all day and do nothing and over sleep you become tired

[Asker]

I never heard of it

[Iron_Man]

Its out there friend

[theCatcherintheRye]

yes it is. Unless you are a koala.

[pewdiepie_]

It's not okay to sleep for 10-12 hours.

[Asker]

why?

[pewdiepie_]

Do you work at night shifts? or any late night work then it's ok. But in a general , it's a waste of time.

[Asker]

i know it's a waste of time but i feel sleepy all the day and i can sleep everywhere even in class.
I go to school so i don't work the night

[pewdiepie_]

That's pretty sweet :)

[Asker]

What's sweet? ^^

[pewdiepie_]

I mean you are fully enjoying your time. Happy Sleeping :)

[Asker]

yes :)

[Yanoa_Yanza]

I'm trying to keep it around 8

[Anonymous]

[Asker]

[DilipThakur]
