Sleep drunk

By sushiattack

One thing I could never figure out about the human body (amongst other things) is why do you feel groggy after too much sleep.  It doesn’t make sense, you have too little sleep you are tired, too much and you’re groggy.  What a cruel irony that too much of something that you need will make you feel worse.

I tried to do some research on this topic and I found some articles on the correlation between length of average nights sleep and early death.  Basically it said of the people they studied those the got on average greater than 8 hours of sleep a night lived much shorter lives. The study didn’t prove a causation between the two variables so I don’t think its fair to make that leap.  It makes me wonder if people start using more of these sleep aids chronically will this eventually lead to a nation of depressed people?
