I have had the same issues and am also from Colorado. But I was recently hospitalized for suicidal ideation. As a result I am staying with family in Colorado. I have been very depressed, and hyper-sleeping (sleeping too much) is a symptom. I like to sleep during the day because I have fewer nightmares then -- no idea why. But, in the past two months I have adjusted my sleeping schedule so that I go to bed between 8 and 10 p.m., and get up at 7 or 8. It's still a lot of sleep, but I am on 6 medications that all cause drowsiness!

I've been on Zoloft too. After several years, it quit working. Now I am on Effexor and in the hospital they added Welbutrin. I would suggest asking the doctor (or whomever prescribes your medication) for an adjustment in your medication. The SSRIs lose effectiveness over time. I really am a night owl, but I do feel better. I can get out of bed now.
