Suggest Treatment For Excessive Sleeping And Poor Diet

My husband is easily set off, moody, doesnt like to be around people. He sleeps 12 hours a day and last night slept 16 hours. He always complains that he doesnt feel well and his diet is extremely poor. He has always been like this, we have been together 13.5 years. His parents say he has always been like this too.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Excessive sleepiness is called hypersomnia. There are many causes of excessive sleepiness, and sometimes an underlying sleep disorder is responsible. Most sleep disorders disrupt a person's slumber—usually by shortening the length of time asleep or reducing the quality of sleep—making the person drowsy during the day as a result.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Insomnia, narcolepsy etc are also possible causes. There are behavioral, psychological, and medical treatment options for sleep disorders. In the case of husband's condition, it's important to talk to your doctor—if a sleep disorder is the root, you can get started working on a strategy to treat it, improve your night's sleep, and feel alert and productive the next day.
