Hello ,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

You should undergo some investigation.
Complete Blood Count, thyroid hormone Testing, Body mass Index and vitamin B12 testing. If some of these is not not regular, correction of the same will help you.

Another thing may be some education, work or social stress which may cause excessive sleep.
If you are in some stress, consult psychiatrist.

If nothing wrong sleep monitoring with EEG required to reach to diagnosis of your problem.

Hope I have answered your query
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki
