Long term sleep not only leads to a lower quality of health, but to a variety of health concerns. It can also lead to neurological and psychological damage. It also causes symptoms like memory loss, confusion, blurred vision and a high level of irratibility.

After losing a large amount of restoring sleep and pushing your body too far, extra REM and NREM 4 is requiered for your body to restore itself to regular levels of health and energy.
