oversleepingA recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has established a link between little sleep and excessive sleep to chronic diseases in people of 45 years of age and above. Some of the chronic health conditions are obesity, diabetes, heart disease and anxiety. These problems are seen alongside the common sleep problems such as snoring, sleep apnoea and insomnia.
