Hiii
execessive sleeping is pathological only when its affect ur daily routine
Like sleeping while driving
sleeping while eating bathing
sleeping while doing sex etc
This is called narcolepsy
but only excessive sleepiness without much affec daily routine can be treated
Execssive snoring can be due to sleep aponea or difficulty in breathing due to some obstruction

consult 1st pulmonologist for sleep aponea or bp related prb

execessive sleepiness can be conrol by modafinil like drug which is given in morning but u have to use under supervision and better to consult psychiatrist
thank u
