Is Sleeping Too Much Bad for Your Brain? We worry about not getting enough sleep, but new research suggests regularly sleeping nine or more hours may also be linked to worse cognitive performance.   In a study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia, long sleepers scored lower on memory and executive function tests, especially those with symptoms of depression.   Researchers caution that long sleep may be a signal, not a cause. But it raises an interesting question: when does "more rest" stop being restorative? How Much Sleep Is Too Much?
