Macular degeneration is one of the leading cause of blindness in the world. A normal human mind needs a sleep of maximum 8 hours a day and sleeping longer than that leads to macular degeneration. It was studied that those who sleep for longer hours are seven times more likely to suffer from geographic atrophy which represents the advanced stages of the condition. Not only that, hitting the snooze button too often causes severe damage to eyesight in the long term.
