There are a lot of reasons that could influence your sleep patterns. You really have to get a doctors diagnosis for a real answer. Sometimes, depression can make us sleep more or less than we're used to because we've lost interest in other things. Or there are a variety of illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome that can make us feel drowsy. The short answer is that only a doctor can really tell you what's going on for sure.

Sleep abnormalities may be due to physical changes or emotional disturbances. Excess sleep may also be due to hormonal disturbances in young people.Physical causes include hypothyroidism, restless leg syndrome, etc. Emotional causes include stress, mental trauma, etc.
