Sleeping is an important part of our daily routine. To stay healthy, everyone must sleep for 7 to 8 hours daily. When you wake up in the morning after getting enough sleep, you are full of energy. But, some people end up oversleeping and end up sleeping several hours more than the limit. Sleeping late is good for you only until you get used to it. If you make a habit of oversleeping, then it creates a very harmful situation for your health. Sleeping more than necessary works to harm health. Today in this episode, we are going to give you information related to this. Let's know about it...

Obesity problem
There is a direct link between sleep and obesity. Too little or too much sleep than the body's requirement can make a person obese. When you sleep too much it means that your body is physically inactive for a long time. Due to less physical activity, your body burns fewer calories, which can lead to weight gain. A 2010 study published in Social Science and Medicine found that getting more than 8 hours of sleep a day can increase a person's risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Heart disease
A study has revealed that getting more sleep can lead to heart problems. Sleeping too much can harm your heart. This study, published in the journal PLOS, also claimed that if you get 9 to 11 hours of sleep, your chances of getting heart disease increase by 38 percent.

Back pain
People doing desk work in the office spend most of their time sitting on a chair, due to which they get very tired and they sleep for long hours. Due to prolonged sleeping, they may have to face the problem of back pain, neck, and shoulder pain.

Risk of diabetes
Sleeping excessively is not at all appropriate for your blood sugar level. When you get more sleep, it affects your body's ability to process sugar. Due to this, the risk of a person getting type 2 diabetes increases significantly. Also, sleeping too much means you are less physically active and this also increases your risk of diabetes. A 2009 study in Sleep Medicine found that people who sleep too much or too little are at a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Headache
After waking up late in the morning or after sleeping for more than 7-8 hours, many people often start having headaches. Apart from this, if you wake up after sleeping for a long time, suddenly you feel hungry and thirsty, which can also cause a headache. That's why sleeping on time and getting up on time is beneficial for health.

Depression
You may find it strange to hear, but continuously sleeping more than necessary affects your mood. Even this can cause depression in the person. Sleep affects neurotransmitters in the brain. Taking too much sleep reduces the physical activity of the person. It is very important for a person to be physically active to increase the level of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin. This also improves your mood.

Tiredness
The biggest side effect of sleeping too much can also be that you feel like sleeping all the time. This may be due to fatigue. Sleeping too much spoils the body clock, which affects the whole body, and in such a situation one starts feeling tired, and does not feel like doing anything.
