Studies find people who sleep between 6.5 hours and 7.5 hours per night live the longest. Those who sleep 8 hours or more or less than 6.5 hours don’t live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too little. The big surprise is that "sleeping long" seems to start at 8 hours; sleeping 8.5 hours might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hours.
