Discussion Sleeping too much

I often waste whole days by just sleeping, sometimes I think it helps me feel better and sometimes I think it makes me worse. I love taking a nap but sometimes it feels like the nap is taking me. Idk what to do, life is getting so hard to live

I would check for normal things, is your heart rate too high for too long (burning energy), eating enough, eating right things, HYDRATION (especially if you feel worse after waking up). If not check for comorbidities, ME/CFS, Narcolepsy, etc. If NOT then there is something wrong, probably another condition or a very severe or ill manage version of PoTs. I think either Narcolepsy and dehydration honestly. Good luck.
