The commonest cause of ‘Sleeping Too Much’ (Narcolepsy) is not getting enough sleep. Working at night and sleeping during the day is another. Other causes include drug, alcohol, or cigarette use, lack of physical activity, obesity, and the use of certain medications. However, the condition can also be caused by an underlying condition such as Depression or a sleep disorder. It will therefore be advisable for you to check if you are on any medication that could be making you to sleep too much. In addition, you should stay away from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. It will also be useful to maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and try relaxation techniques such as hot baths and massage. If these do not work, kindly see a Medical Doctor who will arrange a thorough Physical examination and Laboratory investigations to get to the root of your problem.
