Disorders that cause you to sleep too much?

My boyfriend is 17 years old and sleeps constantly. I understand that sleeping is a natural an enjoyable habit, but the amount of sleep he wants is a bit excessive. I am no sure why this is,but looking apon looking up sleeping Disorders I found that heart problems can cause you to have sleeping problems. He has a heart murmur and I’m wondering if that is relevant to the problem at all? ( lol I decided to give readers all potential problems ) For example he was recently able to stay up until 4 am one night. I’m not sure how he managed this because most of the time he can’t keep his eyes open after 10:30. Anyhow he went to bed at 4 am and slept until 12:00 then I talked to him for about a half an hour and he passed out … He slept until five then stayed up until 9ish and slept tell 10 the next morning. He seems to always be tired, and I’m wondering if this is something that he should look in to or not .

Also, he does not smoke, use drugs , have an overly stressful life, live in a noisy area, consume alcohol, or consume a large amount of caffeine.
However, he does have AD HD and his meds enable him to stay up until about 4 then he crashes. He doesn’t take his meds often though.

I wash my bed sheets once every week. I’m in college and I’m keeping this habit thanks to my mom. However, my roommate will not wash his sheets. This is gross. I’ve talked about this with him months before and he says he doesn’t care. The next day when he left for the weekend, he had taken his bed sheets of. I think I convinced him! But seriously, this is disgusting. Since then he hasn’t but I don’t really care. Is it true your skin sheds at night?

A year and a half ago, we adopted a 2 month old dog for our kids. He was the cutest puppy, but he never got over his biting habit. A couple of weeks ago, he bit my 11 year old son, not seriously, but enough to make us think that the next time could be worse. We, as a family, made a decision that he had to go, so today I took him to the animal control center.Even though I am a 44 year old father of two, I cried like a baby on the way home, though. How did anyone else get over a similar situation?

I have intense trouble falling asleep at night, as well as staying asleep. Recently, I invested in a package of pills called "Sleepinal" which claim to be non-habit forming and safe, well it turns out they do not even work. Can anyone reccomend a good non-habit forming, safe sleep aid?

My dog a 2 year old male sheepdog would only sleep at the corners of the wall. He does not want to sleep on the carpet in middle of room.

I try to lift him and bring him in center but he resists a lot and gets fearful. He seems to find some weird kind of security in the corner of wall only.

Even when he sits, he tries to sit at the corners only.

Why such strange behavior?
i want to end his habit of sleeping in wall corners. how can i do that?

I am 14 and have a really bad sleeping habit. I’m kind of a procrastinator which doesn’t help. I fall asleep at 2 or 3 am on school nights and wake up at 7am. I’m very concerned for my health and need help please.

Am I suffering from a sleep disorder?




After school, I usually take a nap for about 2-3 hours and can’t fall asleep until about 12-1 in the morning. Every day when I get up to go to school I feel tired and overwhelmed throughout the day. On my weekends, I also spend my free time taking naps in the afternoon. Is this a sleep disorder or are my sleeping habit just off balance?

Yeah, so last summer I got into the habit of getting drunk and taking benzos practically every day. Usually xanax or klonopin, but sometimes valium and ativan. imovane sometimes, too, but that’s not a benzo. I don’t think that I feel any weaker than I used to, but I’m wondering if about five months of abuse could have some detrimental effect on my heart or brain.

Sleeping Pill?




I need alot of help, I have anxiety/panic disorder (panic attacks are the worst!) and whenever Im away from home, like on a vacation, I have trouble sleeping, which makes me anxious, giving me panic attacks, so its all a cycle…

I need a sleeping pill that really works quickly, and keeps you asleep for a long time (8 hours), it has to be one that wont be habit forming, and it cant lose its effect quickly (say in a two week period)

thank you so much!
