when i tell people i sleep 8 to 10 hours and have a 2 to 4 hr nap most days, they say they wish they were me~! but what they don't understand is how hard it is to stay up the rest of the time~! before i was diagnosed with oxygen deprivation, sleep apnea, and diabetes, i was actually dying, and some people called me lazy, or said i was "depressed" (which i'm not), or blamed it on being "Fat" (which i am, but that's not what was killing me~!). so what i have to say to you is: don't suppose that all your problems are the result of any one thing~! check out your health, physical and emotional, check your stress loads, and check your DIET~! omg, i could have been spared so much if i had only understood what the real effects of morbid obesity are,,, (morbid = death~!).
keep sleeping as much as you need to. and tell people that you are taking care of your health, which is not only your right, but your Obligation~!
best wishes,,,
