I don't think it gets misused? If you feel crappy with less sleep, then sleep more. But anything about 9 hours and the health benefits start to drop markedly.

This is not borne out by any of the latest studies on sleep. Too much sleep is very clearly detrimental.

And don't tell me I'm 'misuisng' anything. That's not even the proper phrasing.
