Too much sleep worse for health, says study

So what about naps? It seems that naps are great, but only if you slept less than six hours the night before. The results showed that taking naps during the daytime also increased the risk in people who already slept more than six hours that night.

You might be wondering "Could any other factors be causing this?" but like most studies, the researchers controlled for factors like age, BMI, lifestyle factors like smoking and physical activity, and other illnesses like depression and diabetes. It seems this risk of cardiovascular disease is directly related to hours of sleep.
