My friend sleeps all nite, up to 11 hrs at a time. He also claims to be very exhausted in the daytime and requires short naps of 45 minutes to 2 hours.

I cannot sleep like him. I go to bed at nite and obtain about 7 hrs of sleep, sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less. I cannot nap or I have troubles falling asleep or staying asleep at nite.

I just wondered if he really is requiring all that sleep because he is older or is it a health problem or whats the deal?

I cosidered when he went on 3 weeks vacation, he wouldn't be so sluggish, but it seemed to have made his napping worse. He would just spend the entire day in bed if he could.

His house is filthy, his dishes are never done, he never mows his own yard, he never mops, or dusts or takes out the trash. I am perfectly ashamed of his lifestyle. He works full time and blames his dirty house on his work.

He is just lazy. My husband is 63 rises at 7:30 a.m. and we stay up til 1 every night. Your friend is pulling your leg and the sheets over his head at your expense.

you need less the older u are.

you may be like that someday too ! and it's not that far around the corner ! Is he on medication ? Some medication makes people sleepy. Better there than on the road.

Alot of people's first cosidered is depression, which is a possibility. Before assuming that is the issue try homeopathic remedies like ginseng, etc... If this doesn't work then I would confer your doctor.



I agree...11 hours is a really long time to sleep/stay in bed.
