Doctors agree that good sleep is crucial for our health. Not only it helps you stay focused and active throughout the day and helps the body to load and recover after a busy day, but it can reduce the risks of obesity, diabetes and premature death.

"People who sleep less than 10 hours a day have more trouble health than those who sleep seven or eight hours," said Susan Redline, MD, MA Public Health, professor of sleep medicine at Harvard and senior physician in the division sleep disorders at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Nearly 30% of US adults are classified as "sleepy".

Excess sleep is just as damaging as too few hours sleep per night. Below are some problems you may encounter if you oversleep frequently. ( for more health tips visit http://health-tips.ca )

1. The risk of heart disease is higher.

2. You will have weight problems

"Those who sleep too much benefit from less time being active," says Redline. In this way, the more sleep, the more you move less and burn fewer calories.

3. As a result of physical inactivity and weight gain, diabetes is likely to appear.

4. There may be trouble concentrating.

Long sleep can affect the brain and can grow old with two years and daily tasks will be increasingly difficult to perform, according to research published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

5. Can you die earlier?

Studies have confirmed this, but no one knows exactly why. But if we take into account what we enumerate earlier, heart disease, obesity and diabetes all make sense.

6. Mood can be affected.

Depression and sleep can go hand in hand, but there is a clear link established at this time.
