Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Please check his Oxygen saturation whenever he feels sleepy. If low (less than 80%), then excess sleep could be due to the same and needs to be addressed by his treating doctor.
If the saturation is fine, it could be due to one of his medications.
I would like to know what medications he is on. So that I can point at the culprit.
