That sounds like a nice sleep schedule.

The main reason I don't follow something similar, is that I am fairly sure consistently sleeping longer than 9 hours per night increases the risk for serious health problems. I'd provide sources, but I'm on my phone

I have heard of that as a correlation without proven causation. People with health problems might need more sleep perhaps.

I believe it was a study done on workers in Japan, they found the sweet spot was 7 hours. People who slept 8-9 were at higher risk for health issues.than those who slept less.

Regardless, just as he said above: a correlation doesn't necessarily indicate a causation.

Could you provide a link?

What if the people who slept less happened to be from the working class who lead a more active life? And the ones who slept 8-9 were those of an older age group who might not be taking care of their lifestyle.

[rhizome]

That would certainly be news.

It is; then the following day the opposite is news.

(Just like the affect of dark chocolate/red wine on cancer risk.)
