Can too much sleep affect diet?
I typically get around 8 hours of sleep every night. I was wondering if it's bad to get 10 hours of sleep?
Reason I ask is that I've read on here how the body needs to consume food every 2.5 to 3 hours or else it starts breaking down muscle. I've also read that the exception to this is while you are sleeping, that does not occur.
So when I have no need to get up early or anything I will sometimes just pass out until I feel like waking up. I was so exhausted last night that I slept for about 10 hours. At one point in the middle of the night I woke up to take a piss and had a casein shake just to have something. But I still woke up absolutely ravenous with my stomach feeling like it was caving in on itself.
So I guess what I'm trying to get at, is if sleep should be limited? So instead of my body fasting for 10 hours, would it be better to force myself to wake up around 7-8 hours and start my daily eating schedule? Or is it better to just sleep all the way through until I naturally wake up?

Agreed 100%. If you don't HAVE to wake up for any reason, get up when your body says it's time. Slamming the casein shake in the middle of the night was the right thing to do. Of course you felt hungry, a casein shake won't do much to curb appetite but it will help hold off catabolism.
BTW - breaking down of muscle if nutrients aren't present definitely DOES happen while you sleep, albeit slower for obvious reasons. Not sure where you read the opposite, but that's pretty irresponsible information IMO.
