do you need more sleep than others?

[xXSufferingXx]

the last few days i've been sleeping like 16 hours (minus one pee break, or maybe staying awake for an hour max),
so let's call it 15 hours.
i googled it and it says it can happen with "depression", and i put it in quotes because i don't have depression.
if i do, it's that kind where there's nothing wrong with me, i just need assholes to stop bothering me, and i'm ok instantly.
(i'll never be "good", as my life sucks, but YKWIM)

but anyway... i must say i love the long ass sleeps :)
we all know sleep is like a free trial of death.

yesterday i went to go for a long nap (i expected 3 hours), but ended up sleeping 8 hours when i expected it to only be a nap.

it also helps my over-eating. no eating in your sleep.
which ultimately helps my physical health also.

my bedroom has no lights at all and has blackout curtains,
and it also makes you sleepy simply to be in total dark.

Yea absolutely. Always have as well. I remember as a child sleeping through entire weekends to avoid family the adults in my life*
These days I tend to sleep on avg 16 hrs a day. But if no one prompts me to leave bed. I just. Dont.

i'm in quite a similar position, i've gone 20 hours before and average maybe 14 or so. it's simultaneously amazing and terrible because i can never get anything done but waking up from a 15 hour sleep everything in the world just feels right it's like reaching a zen state lmao
