How many of you do that? Does it have any bad effects? How effective is it? Let me know your thoughts!

I myself do this often,As you said it's a best stress relief, Till now I get positive impact from it.
After my sleep I feel relax which help me too find a solution for my problems.

Sometimes, I find it hard to get up from bed by too much stress sleeping. Isn't that a bad thing?

Yeah,I felt the same when I am in too much stress, I think our body need that much sleep to recover from the stress.
