What is the working hypothesis for why sleeping more than 8 hours has such terrible aging effects, at all exercise levels? Is it a selection bias in that people who sleep that much are more likely to be depressed or sick? I'm guessing its a simple relationship here: If you're #Sleep deprived that's very bad and straining yourself makes it slightly worse. If you sleep a lot and don't exercise it's probably because you're seriously ill. #Healthspan Advocates #Sporty Life #Data is beautiful https://www.nature.com/ar.. https://x.com/DrDominicNg..

This post is a great example of how observational data is easily tripped up by associated behavior. 馃崹 "harvard can't figure out why ice cream eaters are healthier. it's because ice cream is the only food nobody eats out of obligation or guilt. the food diary is an accidental personality test and "eats ice cream on purpose, reports it honestly" is just measuring internal locus of control" #Data is beautiful oasishealth.app/blog/ice_.. x.com/brianwut/status/203..
