Lie-ins are literally dreamy aren't they? But it turns out you can have too much of a good thing.
Lie-ins are literally dreamy aren't they? But it turns out you can have too much of a good thing. According to the experts, oversleeping on a regular basis is a bad game-plan. Rather than waking up feeling refreshed, it can lead to grogginess, grouchiness and it can even be a sign of more serious underlying health issues.
We're 100% here for soaking up those extra zzzs every now and then, cocooned in your duvet , but we asked the experts, how much sleep is too much sleep? And what can oversleeping mean for our health? Here's what they had to sayadults need per night to function normally is 7 hours, however getting 8 hours is advised. It’s also been noted that women need around 20 minutes more sleep per night than men,” explains Martin Seeley, Sleep Expert and CEO of“Yes, there is.
“In your twenties, you may be staying out late drinking and socialising and then sleeping in at the weekend, but still trying to get up early for work on a Monday. This can lead to a thing called ‘social jetlag’. Social jetlag is where we tend to have very different weekend, vs weekday, bedtimes and wake times. As our circadian rhythm doesn’t cope well with change, this can lead to problems falling and staying asleep at different times.
“Research has shown however that many people in this age group get closer to six hours of sleep each night, and it’s common for busy young adults with big goals to get even less. The early ’20s stage of life is an exciting but also highly stressful time. It’s important that whilst you enjoy your active social lives in your early 20s, you also take time to slow down and think about what the lack of sleep might be doing to your health,” says Dr Lindsay.
