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

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
