Reply to comment by 26_skinny_Cartman in Too much or too little sleep could be making you sick more. Those who reported sleeping less than six hours a night were 27% more likely to report a recent infection, and those who reported more than nine hours sleep were 44% more likely to report one. by MistWeaver80

Yeah but (for example) depression is also sickness. Depressed people sleep more, and also get ill more often because of weakened immune system they tend to have. But I have never heard any evidence that it is too much sleep that causes this. Or can it be a chicken-egg problem
