Do you think sleeping 9-10 hours when everything else is in order is a bad thing?

I just did about a month-long trip in Argentina, I didn't have to work much so I was really sleeping a lot, there were stints in my life where I was only sleeping 2 or 3 hours a night, or of course sometimes working all night on various business projects. Now for health purposes I want to sleep as much as I can, but is 10 hours too much?

Believe it or not, how much sleep we need changes throughout our lives:


“

• Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours per night
• Older adults (65+ years): 7–8 hours per night
• Teenagers (13–18 years): 8–10 hours per night
• School-aged children (6–12 years): 9–12 hours per night
• Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours per day (including naps)
• Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours per day (including naps)
• Babies (4–11 months): 12–16 hours per day (including naps) ”

Sounds like a total luxury. I wish I could sleep that long.
