I sleep too much

I don’t know what is wrong with me. Even after sleeping well at night, I often find myself sleeping at work, on the bus and at every given opportunity during the daytime. In addition, I sometimes snore to the embarrassment of my colleagues at work. I am a 30-year-old Engineer. Please help me.

Oversleeping has three main causes. A lack of sleep, the timing of sleep, and your own mindset. Sleeping too much during the day could either be due to the poor quality of sleep at night or an underlying disease. To improve the quality of your sleep, it is important for your bedroom to be well aerated and devoid of any form of noise. In addition, your bed should be comfortable and firm. Medical issues such as depression, lack of motivation, boredom, fear and anxiety may also cause a person to have sleep challenges. A thorough medical examination with appropriate Laboratory studies should, therefore, be carried out to rule out the possibilities of any such medical problems.
