A member asked:
What could cause persistant oversleeping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several causes: Most people need 7-8 hours in bed, with some needing 6-9 hours. Retired people may spend more time in bed, and then sleep worse and may be more tired. Idiopathic hypersomnia may increase need for sleep beyond 10 hours. Some people are naturally long sleepers.
