It is important to get 8 hours of sleep. No more, no less. It is also critical to bring yourself to full wakefullness at the same time every morning, even if only for a few minutes. The exposure to light is a zeitgerber to reset the circadian rhythm every day. When you oversleep beyond your regular wake up time, you get what is a sort of jetlag. It can affect you all day long. Just return to bed after resetting your ciradian rhythm, and you can sleep all day if you wish to, without experiencing the fatigue and mental blunting.
