Pety, for many people "not normal" is not a good enough motivation to stop a behavior. Your husband needs to have a strong reason to sleep less. The fact that he can "afford" to sleep so much implies that he doesn't have good enough reasons to be awake. Hope this makes sense. Sorry for the late response.

Dear Rotem,
my husband and I, althought we love each other very much,actually we live far away from each other by huge kilometr distance. My husband always loved sleeping, but lately the sleeping became intorelable, he can sleep even 16 hours nonstop, even he isnt able many times to wake to work. As our only way how to meet now is online, we are loosing even this touch, because of the sleeping. I am trying to understand him, but it became hard to do so, as its slowly becoming daily routine, and I am becoming depressed. I am trying to explain him, its not normal to sleep like this for 33 years old man, but he still thinks, its just, he loves to sleep much. But as you said in begining, this oversleeping can damage even relationships, and really I am worry of this. i wish to get your opinion here, to let my husband read it, to belive me, this oversleeping is not all right. Thank you in advance. Pety

Yes, my sister goes to bed late at night around 11pm and she doesn’t wake up until around 4 or 5 pm in the afternoon. I felt this is a serious problem because she says “I can’t stop sleeping;it’s so great”. I don’t know what will make her stop sleeping so long and in the day she’s so lazy sometimes she just sits on the coach and goes on her laptop for like two hours. I really don’t know what to do now.
