I have been sleeping a lot lately, even after 12 hours i was only able to stay up for about 6 hours before having the need to sleep again. ive slept for pretty much a day, should i be concerned? im not taking any medication to make someone sleepy.

Maybe: This much sleep would not be that odd if you are in a growth spurt, if you have been very active in sports/work or studying hard for exams. If none of these apply I would schedule a visit with your doc to sort this out.
