The reason I ask is that it is 3:30 in the afternoon and I'm as bored as batsh*t because my friends are all still asleep behind me. so we went to bed at 5:30 this morning but shouldn't they be up by now? 
How long is sleeping too long?

For me, about 10 or 11 hours is too much! I find that if I have more than that, I wake up more tired than when I went to bed!
Unless I'm sick, then I can sleep for days.
Bergs if you think they've slept enough then why not just wake them.

my record is midday after getting home at 8. I hate sleeping during the day.

If i don't have to get up for anything in the morning then i'll sleep till midday and feel great for the rest of the day. During the week though i only get around 7 hours as my stupid friend told me how wonderful 9:00 am lectures are at uni.
Then when i get home in the afternoon i can't help but collapse on my bed and have a snooze. Then i wake up a while later and feel like sh*t for the rest of the day and just don't want to talk to anyone. I can't win.

When working night shift i often didn't get up till 6 or 7pm.
Now i am back ion day shift and i find it hard to sleep past 10am.
I wouldn't mind sleeping a little later, but my body just wont do it.

I was reading an article the other day which suggested that you should sleep 7-8 hours per day. Too much longer tends to make you just as tired as a lot less. Of course, there seem to be some people who cope on less.
Oh how I envy all you people who can wake up easily at such early hours of the morning. When I've got nothing on, and if I don't set an alarm, I usually wake up about 1pm or thereabouts. Often I wake up at this time and stay in a zombie-like state 'til about 3. It completely wastes the whole day, and makes ya feel like crap 'till late afternoon usually. Trouble is, if I somehow wake myself up before 9, I usually end up falling back asleep mid-afternoon, as my body clock has just got to that stage.
I'm trying to get out of the habit, as I would love to be able to get up at 7 or 8 and face the whole day for a change! Nothing worse than having to get up early when your body clock is expecting a midday wake-up time!

Get a job you bum!
I go to bed late and wake up at 8 on the dot each morning. Somehow i have managed.
Annoys me on Sundays though when i want to sleep in and the body clock is set to weekday hours.
There were times in high school when I used to get up at 3pm every day (during the holidays).
I can easily sleep for 10 hours unless I've been drinking.
I find that after a night out when I've been drinking and say I get to bed at about 5am, I usually end up waking up at about 8am for some reason. It annoys the hell out of me because I want to sleep in until at least midday but can't seem to fall asleep. Most people seem to sleep longer though after a night of drinking.
Do you guys sleep longer, shorter or about the same after a night of drinking?

I work night-shift (10pm to 7am) four nights in a row each week, then I've got three days off to 'drift back to normal' before I re-adjust to nights again. When I first started, I'd often go two days of being awake, sleep about 15-20+ hours, repeat. Very strange to go to sleep Sunday night and wake up 1am Tuesday!
To answer the original question though, I think it depends on the physical and mental exertion. Mentally, I only need about two hours sleep to 'reset'. Physically I might need six or seven to get my energy back. Too much is hard to judge without hindsight.

I would think that "too long" is when you don't wake up.

I've been doing that for the last three years. It's why on the first day of any term I look completely ****ing dead.
The longest I have slept was the day after my uni exams finished last year. Went to bed at probably 1am, got up at 4pm. 
I usually get about 6 hours sleep a night, so right now I don't think any amount of time sleeping is long enough!
Just on the night shift thing...my friend was working 6pm-8am for a month...he'd go to bed at 10:30am and get up by 3pm. Now that's my idea of hell...

I generally wakeup after about 3 or 4 hours after a heavy night. I used to just get up and get on with the day, but I've worked out, it's much better to get more sleep, otherwise I feel like crap. So I just lie then for an hour two and usually drift off again.
having said that, I'm off to bed, nighty-night!

How long is sleeping too long?
I reckon if you were at the big game and just woke up now to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Bulldogs last premiership - that might be too long.

13 for 14 hours on holidays are usual for me...
on non holidays it's about 8 or 9 hours...

Strangely I only seem to sleep well on Saturday nights.
During the week it's usually about 5 or 6 hours of broken sleep. Saturday night I usually hit the sack a little late, but don't get up until lunchtime Sunday = 10-11 hours.
Weekdays - 8am is a sleep in even on a day off, unless I've been out and got home at 4am.
