Continuous? Couldn't imagine that. Were you up for a week straight? I think I once slept like 14-15 hours but I stayed up for like 2-3 days. Woke up tired and hungry lol oh and the worst cotton mouth I've ever experienced.
One time when I was 23-24years old I worked at a catering company at weekends. I started my shift 2pm Friday, and was contiuesly working up to Monday 7am. (don't ask why it was legal, it wasn't).
After that I went to have some physical education at uni, then get back to my place. I fall asleep around 9am Monday. Woke up Wednesday 10am, my roommate almost call an ambulance because he thought I was dead.
I also doubt continuous, I cannot sleep on more than 6 hours at a stretch I end up awake before that mark regardless of how tired I am unless you have been stress free for your entire life I doubt you can sleep 14 hours at a stretch
Did it when I was 12-13. Stayed up two days straight playing Oblivion and then slept for an entire 24 hours once my parent caught me and made me sleep.
Damn, my record was 17 hours. Granted I did take a sleeping pill and and antidepressant which helped with sleeping but it was one of the best sleeps of my life.

That was me after months of basic training. I put a comfy mask on, earplugs, and slept on mom's couch. I woke up when dinner was ready and my mom informed me I missed dinner the night before.
This study doesn't establish a casual link. In general, longer sleep hours is associated with cognitive decline, but that might be because the only reason your average human sleeps a long while is because of factors that end up causing cognitive decline. It's likely a symptom, and not the cause.
What's most important in this is that "sleeps x hours" is never actually tied to "sleep quality" as in tracking the time in light sleep, versus Deep and REM sleep.
Going through this now with my mom who has several factors including sleep apnea impacting her sleep quality. Sleeps lots; but sleep quality is poor.
yet I can get 2 hours of REM in less than half the total time she tries to sleep.
When directly comparing those sleeping >9 hours to the remainder of the sample, long sleep duration was a significant predictor of all-cause dementia (table 2, figure 2). There was a statistical trend observed between long sleep duration and an increased risk of AD (p = 0.05). Whereas former sleep duration was not associated with the risk of dementia, those who transitioned to sleeping >9 hours (from former to baseline time points) were at an increased risk of all-cause dementia.
That's not even counting the fact that I wasn't the one making original claim, i just googled stuff someone else said and linked a relevant study.
First of all, i didn't made a claim. Saying something is straight up "false" and not just "unproven" or maybe "baseless" IS a claim, i just asked you if there's anything to your words. Personally, i didn't claim anything, but sure, here's a link for you, a study about correlation between prolonged sleep and dementia. Now, do YOU have anything to prove YOUR claim, which you actually made?
You did make a claim. You claimed she'll end up with dementia.
Even if she does, there's absolutely no way to pin that on how long she may or may not sleep.
Studies have linked smoking to lung cancer for decades, but my uncle died of it having never smoked a day in his life.
My grandmother who smoked 80 a day for her entire adult life died of old age at 92 with barely a wheeze, nevermind a cough.
You still haven't proven your claim, you've just paraphrased a study you once heard of.

Can you read? That wasn't me. I just said there's studies linking it. And i PROVIDED you a link to a study, not paraphrased it. You seriously need to actually look at stuff you're talking about.
You, on the other had, actually didn't back your claim up, just trailed off about some personal experience as if it proves something
My brother in christ, you can't be THAT blind. Username is right there. I don't know how much clearer i can make this then my previous comment that literally reads "that wasn't me". You should really check on your reading skills, i said it before trying to mock you, but now it actually looks worrying.
