- swayvil 5y agoNaw, that's just fiction for the overworked to make them feel better about their heinous lifestyle.

There is a statistical association between having among the longest sleep times and having health issues of that sort, but I don't know that the causality has been sorted out. If there is a direct cause and effect relationship my favored hypothesis would be in the direction that severe health issues promotes an increased need for rest and recovery.
