i can't get my bf to go to the dr. but need help and think if it is serious he will go , he will sleep 14 hours then get up to eat and then goes back to sleepfor 2-3 more hours then will get up for another short period of time then back to sleep he goes, i wake him and he will have conversations with me that he later doesnt remember, he will get up if he has to but as soon as he can he goes back to sleep also it seems to be with food as well it seems that if he eats he will fall asleep right away if you have any answers or sujestions please let me know thanks

Hi

My bf used to sleep as much as this before he was diagnosed with narcolepsy. unfortunaly now he has just been diagnosed with hyper insomnia as he has severe excessive day time sleepiness with no energy and constantly feeling drained.. Im not saying he has any of these but it would be wise to go see a doctor as the process of getting a sleep study if one is needed can takes ages..

good luck x
