I tried to mail to you but can't get a path to your machine.

Have you had a recent medical checkup?  It is possible that you have
longer natural cycles, but needing a lot of sleep can also be symtoms
of things such as high blood pressure, anemia (sp?), suffocation (many
loud snorers acutually have adnoids or tonsils blocking their air passages).
Certain emotional disorders can also cause problems.

This may also be side effects of being overweight, smoking, drinking,
certain drugs and medication, poor diet, or ??

It may be nothing, but if you have been this way for a while, your
doctor may be able to determine one or more changes that will help
you need less sleep, and feel better as well.
