What Causes Prolonged Sleep?
My husband has been sleeping ALOT for a few months now and today he slept from 10pm last night to 9 this morning. Then ate at 11am and lay on the couch and fell asleep again and I finally woke him up at 5pm tonight. He ate dinner at 7pm and he went back to bed at 10pm. What could be causing this?
