A member asked:
What are causes of being sleepier than usual? i sleep 9 hours every night
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depression or Sleep: Possible causes are either depression or a sleep disorder (for example obstructive sleep apnea). Many people have somehow learned that more sleep is better. The data on this suggests that 7 hours is fine and above 8.5 hours of sleep at night you are at risk of making yourself sleepy because you are sleeping too much.
