One of the major premises in the book "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker is precisely this phenomenon. We know that sleep helps to repair and restore organ systems, and it can also boost memory. This is exciting to see more connections as evidence supporting sleep as one of the most important things we do.

I’ve read this years prior. I don’t see how it’s relevant to this article. But if a whole book’s premise is invalid because of some bored dude wrote an article, then so be it.

Interestingly the article says:

Peek and her team found that muscle repair after injury was greater when mice were active or awake compared to when they were inactive or resting.

It seems sleep alone isn't the most important factor. Otherwise more sleep would linearly be beneficial to health and recovery, but, from a courtesy look into it, it appears sleep above 9 hours is inversely correlated with negative health.

> sleep above 9 hours is inversely correlated with negative health

So positively correlated with positive health?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sorry, maybe I meant "linearly", or just "correlated".
