There is no denying the fact that the human body needs enough rest to repair the wear and tear we pass through on a daily basis.

It also needs sleep to keep the whole system running effectively and efficiently, but when you sleep too much, you also increase your chances of developing some serious health problems.

EDITOR’S PICK:

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some side effectives of excessive sleep on your health.

1. Diabetes

This is a chronic health problem that develops or arises when the body is unable to metabolize the sugar or glucose intake. If for any reason, the body starts finding it really difficult to use the glucose in the blood stream for energy as it’s designed to be, then the pitiable situation of diabetes or the person automatically becomes a diabetic patient.

This is a chronic health problem because there is no known cure and the ways of managing it is quite stressful but one thing you should know is that sleeping too much increases person’s chances of suffering from diabetes. This is because of the fact that inactivity or sedentary lifestyle increases and even worsens the condition if you are already living with it.

2. Heart Diseases

Research has it that sleeping too much can also have adverse effects on the heart and as such, sleeping too much can make a person develop strange heart diseases. When we say sleeping too much, it means sleeping for more than 8 hours on a regular basis, this appears enjoyable but can be very hazardous to the body in different ways of which the heart health is among. If you don’t want to put your heart in harm’s way, make sure you don’t sleep too much or more than normal.

3. Stroke

Studies have shown that having very little sleep and also having much sleep all increases the chances of having cardiovascular concerns. Sleeping for more than 7 hours on a daily basis can raise a person’s chances of having sudden stroke and also in the same vein, sleeping for very few hours can also raise a person’s chances of having stroke, so it’s highly advisable to balance your sleeping time.
