Sleeping way more than usual

Diabetes II and sleep. I was having sugar crashes (going too low) during the night and they were waking me. I now take reading just before going to bed and if lower than a certain number, I drank a high protein/low carb meal supplement. It helps stabalize me during the night and I sleep better.

Just saying what works for me.
 

I get very sleepy and want to sleep more if I am bored or have lost interest in what I am doing. For instance, if I am waiting around for a repair guy or something like that and don't want to undertake anything that might make me miss them coming, I'll get very sleepy. Or if I'm going through old papers or something like that that is deadly dull, I'll get sleepy -- in that case I think it's a form of avoidance.
 
My sleep is all over the place, some nights I only sleep like 6 hours, some nights I sleep 10 hours. It doesn't worry me unless it happens night after night or if I don't know why I'm doing it (family problems, worrying about something, worked on the yard the day before). On ''perfect nights'' I sleep 7-8 hours without the aid of an alarm clock to wake me.
