Of course, you might have slept that much because you're exhausted and you needed it. Just sayin' .... don't play with the sleep med dose too much until you've given it a couple of days.

I once got a sleep med and was out for most of a weekend because my body was that tired. It can happen.

Now, I'm lucky to get 6 hours a night and then once a week or so I sleep more to catch up... but I'm 54 years old and this might be part of getting old!
