This might be a longshot given the age of the post, but does anyone have anything to say about OVERsleeping? This is anecdodal but over the years I've internalized how important sleep is and have been able to regularly get 8+ hours of sleep. What I've noticed is that I get more "emotionally" lethargic - level-headed when something should be stressful, which is a good thing, but also very calm and collected when something should produce euphoria.
If anyone has any relatable experiences or links to articles about oversleeping I'd love to read them.
Oversleep leads to lazyness and sadness, or introversion and contemplatency. Or, it was just those teenage years, but when I was 16 and 18, I used to sleep 14h per day.
This contemplating mood lasted throughout the day, only to disappear and be replaced by ambition and will, many creative ideas late in the evening, just before it was time to sleep again.
8-10 hours is perfect, just enough to retain the creativity and motivation for the next morning which was gathered during the evening. Sleep longer than 12h, and feel so comfortable to just contemplate things without willing to do anything else but think and feel.
When I sleep less than 8h, all effects as described in article happen.
