Is there a stage when simran all the time is bad for you.

Too much Simran becomes bad for you when you ignore duties as a Householder, Saint and a Soldier!!!

Remember that we ask Sikhs are doer's not just seekers of truth.

I suppose it depends on what you class as Simran, to some Simran is the contemplation of Creator and the implementation of Bani on a daily basis, I feel this is good, and you cannot get enough of it, to some Simran is sticking your fingers in your ears, breathing deeply, and repeating the same word again and again, I personally feel this is devoid of any spiritual value within the realms of Sikhi

Veer Ji which of those three does not involve Subtle-Simran or Static-Simran to be carried out properly.To the one posing the question if I were you I would worry more about how much is too little.

Veer Ji If I have understood anything it is that the House is the holder,and when 'Ghar' wali starts I pretend to do Silent-Simran Aka Sleep

That depends as to how you define 'all the times'. To me more than 15 minutes is too much. To some even two hour may not be too much. All time-simran comes with technique , patience, practice and Grace. Randip ji has already stated about the duties of house holder as a sikh. Any simran at the cost of duty is likely to be less meaningful.
Time devoted on simran is also dependent upon one's capacity to carry out the same. Simran should be taken as per Gurmat. One should gradually proceed further. It is the way I have conceptualiized.

There is no question of SIMRAN being less or more as every thing of the univesre is creation from NAAMu only. Earth,Sun,Moon,Air,WATER,Fire ,the whole Banaspatee and what not ,all exist because of SIMRAN only.

Thus there can be no limit of SIMRAN.
