Answers:
Studies show that people who sleep between 6!.5 hr!. and 7!.5 hr!. a night, as they report, live the longest!. And people who sleep 8 hr!. or more, or less than 6!.5 hr!., they don't live quite as long!. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short!. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hr!. Sleeping 8!.5 hr!. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr!.

Morbidity [or sickness] is also "U-shaped" in the sense that both very short sleep and very long sleep are associated with many illnesses
