effects of too much sleep

Posted by Aaron Maiden on December 24, 1997 at 01:01:10:

Does anyone out there know if there ever has been a study on the effects of too much sleep?
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that sleeping for long periods of time cannot possibly be healthy, but has anyone ever tried to see how long a human being could sleep (using sleeping aids both herbal and pharmicuatical) and the effects both physically and mentally? Huh?
I would appreciate any responses. Tanx in advance.
