A member asked:
I went to bed at 1 am (which isn't abnormal for me) and woke up at 4pm. should i be concerned about sleeping that long?

Not if it is a one: Time event. If it became a pattern, - that would warrant evaluation. Take care.

No: Extended sleep past 8 hours is not life shortening or life threatening, particularly if it is rare or only very occasionally.
