Question

Sleeping too much


Sent to Health Experts January 19, 2005 10:20 a.m.
My husband is 25 years old and he sleeps way too much. He has had this problem all of his life. He will go to bed about 9-10:00 at night and not get out of bed until 2:00 the next day or later. He doesn’t hear the alarm and if I try to wake him he just mumbles. He will wake up and say he is getting up but then he goes right back to sleep. What is wrong with him?

 Oversleeping can be a symptom of a medical problem such as an autoimmune disoder or chronic fatigue syndrome or a neurological problem such as a sleep disorder or even ADD. Depression can cause people to sleep alot.  Have him seen by his physician for a physical to rule out any medical cause.  He may then need to see a specialist to narrow the diagnosis.  Nurse Hope
