Various causes: Even though your father appears to be sleeping 10 hours, it doesn't seem like the sleep is very effective. Various disorders can affect sleep from sleep apnea, to restless legs, to side effects of medications, etc. He should see his doctor who can ask the proper questions about sleep, and if necessary order a sleep study or have him consult with a physician with expertise in sleep.
