I have also seen similar recovery benefits from longer (11+) hours sleeps. During a period of a few months I worked out heavily every day, and noticed better recovery and faster strength gains from the longer sleeps. One downside with the longer sleeps was that I would not get tired at the same time each night, so my sleep window moved later and later until I needed to skip a night's sleep to reset, so I was probably sleeping more than my normal rhythms required
