Don’t sleep too little, or too much: Scientists who analyzed 16 sleep studies found that people who sleep more than eight hours a night as well as those who sleep fewer than six hours a night, have an increased mortality risk compared to those who sleep for between somewhere between six and eight hours.
Those who sleep too long are in most danger, with a 30 percent increase in the risk of death over medium sleepers, while those on the low end have a 12 percent increase.
The discrepancy persists even when the scientists adjusted for factors that may make people sleep longer. Read more at the BBC.

Causation or correlation?
Never good to jump to conclusions.
Now that their mortality rate was raised by 30%, I guess that makes it 130%.
Well I guess it’s too bad of a problem.
How many adults do you know that suffer from ‘too much sleep’!
blah blah blah.
they come out with new studies every day and if you add them all up they all contradict each other. not newsworthy!
