How much sleep is too much?

[wizelsnarf]

I have the summer off (from work) and planned my life so I literally have nothing to do. I play elements, go for runs, biking, surfing or hang out with friends whatever.

Anyhow, since summer began I have been sleeping a lot. I never sleep enough (for me) when I am working but usually get at least 7 hours of sleep. I have been routinely sleeping a minimum of 10 this summer. The last couple days I have slept 12 hours a night.

I don't feel terribly tired, or ill for that matter. I exercise most every day and have seemingly good focus and health. I eat really well too... but I am wondering if I have a disorder? I do tend to move around all night (so I hear). Is that preventing deeper sleep?

Your thoughts?

maybe it's your problem. Are you a fat guy? Someone say that fat guys don't breath very well while sleeping, so actually their brain don't have enough rest.
Thus they will feel sleepy no matter how long they slept the night before.

hahaha. Def don't have sleep apnea.

I am pretty in shape. I run a lot. Definitely not fat. I keep debating in my head whether or not I am in the range of normal. If I am not, then why?

The only thing I can think is that I move around a lot when I sleep. Constantly moving I would say based on what people have told me and maybe that keeps me from sleeping well? Doesn't everyone kind of roll over every few minutes though?

Every few minutes, no. A time or two every hour`? might be more accuratly.

I sleep around 4-7hours a day.
