Lettuce is bad for you. Air is bad for you. Sleep is bad for you. I'm rooting for exercise to be next.

A lot of people not reading the article but it's basically confirming you should really try to get around 8 hours of sleep a night average.

The participants in this study had an average age of 70 years old.

"In plain terms, if you regularly find yourself sleeping nine to 10 hours or more a night, it may be worth mentioning to your doctor as a useful conversation starter about your sleep quality and overall brain health,” Young suggests.

All things in moderation. Drinking water can kill you if you drink more than the recommended amount in a day. No water = you die. Couple litres a day = great. 6 litres+ = you die.

This article talks about 10+ hours correlating with bad things, it's affirming 8 hours is good similarly. 6 hours = bad brain, 8 hours = great. > 10 hours = bad brain.
