Do you sleep too much ?
As strange as that might sound, the study says that those who sleep more than 9 hours a night, sit more than 7 hours a day, and exercise less than 150 minutes a week are four times more likely to die young compared to people who have healthier habits.Dr Melody Ding, the author of the study, said, "When you add a lack of exercise into the mix, you get a type of triple whammy effect. Our study shows that we should really be taking these behaviours together as seriously as we take risk factors such as levels of drinking and unhealthy eating patterns.The study was conducted on 231,048 Australians aged 45 and above. The goal was to determine what lifestyle patterns contribute the most to premature deaths in case of middle-aged adults.The questionnaire highlighted behaviours such as smoking, drinking and too much or too little sleep. And the results found were quite shocking.Smoking, alcohol intake and less sleep were found slightly less harmful than being physically inactive and sleeping too much!
So wake up on time ..!!

I am glad that you found this post helpful..
There's a big flaw with this and that is why are these people doing this? I sleep that much because I need to. I don't exercise more than that in a week because doing too much makes me sick.
Yes, if I was healthy, or even healthier than I am currently I wouldn't sleep so much, sit so much and exercise so little. It's not like it was a choice though. I didn't change my habits and then got sicker. I became more ill so had to chance those habits. Many others are in the same situation.
