Too much sleep worse for health, says study

So while sleep is still healthy - and we should prioritize it in honor of our physical and mental health - sleeping too much can also be detrimental to your heart health. As with many things in life, it's all about balance and finding the right amount of sleep for you (without overdoing it).
