Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You may be suffering from a sleep disorder such as Idiopathic Hypersomnia or even Narcolepsy which can cause people to sleep very heavily. There are treatments but first you should be examined and properly tested to see if there could be anything else metabolic or induced by medication causing this disturbed form of sleep behavior.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi
