SOS: Oversleeping May Kill

So if you are like me (or the million of other teens in school) you are lacking sleep.

WELL BAD NEWS, BED QUEENS! Sleeping can KILL!

A new study from the University of Sydney has a new discovery for those of you that don't want to escape the confines of your bed: regular sleeping can have adverse health effects. In addition to the regular taboos of eating too poorly and sitting to much, researchers have found that sleep for over nine hours a day can have some bad side effects.

Over a six year period, regular oversleeping meant a 44% increased risk of death. Surprisingly, sleeping less than seven hours a day 9% mortality risk.

So, sleeping less is better now..? So should I feel better about the lack of sleep I am getting?

xoxo, Kaila
