I love to sleep. I'll go as far as being obsessed with sleeping. I can swear up and down that I can sleep anywhere and sleep forever if I didn't have a life to live. The thing is that, I don't know why I love to sleep... I can have a full nights sleep and still want to sleep for another year or two... (j/k) And everytime I do wake up, I'm sooo tired that I'll do anything to just go back to sleep. Even if I get to sleep for an entire day, I still don't want to get up, and I still feel tired whenever I do get up. It's so bad that I wouldn't get up even if I'm starving and the fridge is on the other side of the door (which it litterally was). The only thing that makes me willingly get up is school (and no, I don't love school more then my sleep... But I did pay a lot of money for my classes, and I refuse to fail). Which brings up another point. I will instantly feel sleepy through-out the day... I can barely control it, sometimes I have to litterally hold my head up so I don't just pass out on my desk... Even if I'm fully active and ready to run a mile, if you tell me that I can do whatever I want for an hour, ill just sleep, anywhere, and I will stay there, dispite how unconfortable it feels, dispite how many times I wake up from pain, dispite hour bright or noisy it is, I'll just sleep (or at least REALLY try to lol). I've been so used to this though that I never really noticed it before, that is until I ran into this site. I have no idea whether it's just me or if there is a problem, because I would really like to be able to wake up in the morning feeling "rested" and "awake" instead of me hitting the snooze button 15 million times till my 2 hours of getting ready turns into 5 minutes for me to get up and leave! Even then... I think I'll use the 5 minutes to just get out of bed... I think that if it's not for my parents yelling at me to get up on the weekends, I will never wake up lol (except to go use the rest room, but even then I try to hold it back as long as possible). BTW I'm a 19 year old female, I don't know if that matters or not. Thanks for the help!

I think it would be unfair to call yourself lazy.  Some people have a need to sleep much longer than others - it doesn't necessarily mean that you are lazy.  But you're right - needing to sleep that much could be a sign of a problem.  Have you ever heard of "hypersomnias"?  People with these disorders sleep for a verrry long time.  The version that most people have heard of before is called "narcolepsy."  Check out this link and see if it sounds like you:  idiopathic hypersomnia with long sleep time.
