Does sleeping too much slow brain performance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: I have never heard of this correlation, but i guess brain performance could be slowed if the sleep interferes with brain stimulation, including learning, etc. The brain needs to be used. If questions, i would research on the web or contact a sleep specialist.
