The health risks associated with not sleeping enough are well known. But some research studies have shown associations between excessive sleep and physical and mental health problems, including depression.<\/p>\n<p>When life gets busy and your sleep suffers, you start to feel like you could sleep for a week. But, my experience seemed to reflect the research that shows that if you are generally healthy and conditions are good, it is almost impossible to oversleep. So, if you notice that you are tending to sleep excessively, it is more likely that this is a symptom of other problems, rather than the cause.<\/p>\n<p>As a Samsung wellness ambassador I have been using my Galaxy Watch7 to keep tabs on my sleep for some time. As a working parent my problem tends to be that I don\u2019t get enough sleep. But having the daily reminder has encouraged me to make it a priority &#8211; and I feel much better for it.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this video was just for fun and not supposed to represent a detailed scientific study or research. #SamsungPartner #GalaxyWatch7<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to me @Dr Julie  for more videos on mental health and psychology. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #shorts<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc47Links below for my new No.1 bestselling book &#8211; Why has nobody told me this before?<\/p>\n<p>Amazon UK &#8211; https:\/\/amzn.to\/33DZFgO<br \/>\nAudiobook UK &#8211; https:\/\/amzn.to\/33cmsQA<br \/>\nAmazon USA &#8211; https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qbo4Dp<br \/>\nAudiobook USA &#8211; https:\/\/amzn.to\/3smyC2D<br \/>\nOther links &#8211; https:\/\/linktr.ee\/drjuliesmith<\/p>\n<p>Feel free to hit that SUBSCRIBE button for more videos! <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf7 Instagram &#8211; https:\/\/instagram.com\/drjulie<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfa5 TikTok &#8211; https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@drjuliesmith<br \/>\n\ud83d\ude4b\u200d\u2640\ufe0f Facebook &#8211; https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DrJulieSmith<br \/>\n\ud83d\udc26 Twitter &#8211; https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dr_Julie_Smith<br \/>\n\ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Website &#8211; www.doctorjuliesmith.com<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcd8 My No.1 Bestselling New Book Is Out Now \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/linktr.ee\/drjuliesmith<\/p>\n<p>WHO AM I:<br \/>\nI&#8217;m a clinical psychologist.
