A member asked:
Why am i sleeping so much? what can cause this? i go to bed everyday around 5:30 to 6 am and then wake up at like 2 230 pm is this too much sleep or is the timing just messed up?

Too much ???: The cited time in bed is ~8 hrs. With time to fall asleep & wake cutting ~1/2 hr off that total 7.5 hrs is fine for most adults. Sleep needs are determined by adequacy of deep sleep (sleep study required to confirm) in light of the need created by physical &/or mental work. Your sleep pattern may indeed be messed up, but the posted information does not suggest a problem.
