Of course, one can get too little sleep but, can over do it by sleeping extra hours?
Should one limit the amount of sleep at night so as to feel the most refreshed? At times, I have felt more awake in the morning when I would get fewer hours of sleep than 8 or 9 hours. Should I try going between 7-8 hours?
Also, is it worse to hit the snooze button a few times or to get right up the first time the alarm goes off?

well, it depends. 8 hours of sleep if preferable. but if you’re tired, more is good. feel free to hit the snooze button, but not to avoid exercise
Everyone is different. Some people require 4-6 hours of sleep while the majority of require 8-10 hours.
Technically you are not getting the proper amount of sleep if you need an alarm to wake you up. Your body should wake up naturally on it’s own when it is done resting. That is pretty well impossible in the age of appointments and everything being done on time.
Yes you can get too much sleep you will usually just feel tired and kind of “blah” some people (rare occasions) will have trembles from too much sleep.
I personally need 10 hours of sleep. My days are pretty well physically active and my body is usually VERY tired by the end of the day. Since getting more sleep I have also almost rid myself of sleepwalking, which is great because no one likes a naked chick screaming SNAKES OMG SNAKES at 3am 4 times a week.
Try to see how many hours it takes your body to wake naturally and attempt to stay within that range of hours nightly. Good luck!
