Health Conditions Linked to Oversleeping
Several health conditions have been scientifically linked to oversleeping:
Diabetes. In a study of almost 9,000 Americans, researchers found a relationship between sleep and the risk of diabetes. People who slept more than nine hours each night had a 50% greater risk of diabetes than people who slept seven hours per night. This increased risk was also seen in people who slept less than five hours per night. The researchers did not draw conclusions about the physiological link between long sleep and diabetes. But they did suggest that oversleeping could be indicative of underlying medical problems that increase the likelihood of diabetes.
Diabetes:If you sleep more than nine hours every night, your risk of developing diabetes increases by 50 percent, according to an October 14, 2008 article by CBS News. Scientists aren't exactly sure why the risk becomes higher, but indications may point to underlying health problems that cause diabetes and lead to oversleeping.

Obesity: Oversleeping can lead to excessive weight gain. One study found that those who overslept had a 21 percent higher risk of obesity than those who didn’t. This was the case even when diet and exercise remained the same between those who overslept and those who didn’t.
Obesity. Sleeping too much or too little could make you weigh too much, as well. One recent study showed that people
