Interestingly the article says:

Peek and her team found that muscle repair after injury was greater when mice were active or awake compared to when they were inactive or resting.

It seems sleep alone isn't the most important factor. Otherwise more sleep would linearly be beneficial to health and recovery, but, from a courtesy look into it, it appears sleep above 9 hours is inversely correlated with negative health.

I suppose another way to phrase it is sleeping and being awake on your body's natural circadian rhythm is ideal.

The BMAL1 studies are fascinating in themselves.

These monkeys showed higher nocturnal locomotion and reduced sleep, which was further exacerbated by a constant light regimen.

This sounds like borderline torture

> sleep above 9 hours is inversely correlated with negative health

So positively correlated with positive health?

That must have been a typo. From what I have read, sleep for more than 9hr is negatively correlated with good health:

Sorry, maybe I meant "linearly", or just "correlated".
