I'm Not Lazy, I've Got A Sleep Disorder
I often sleep for 12 - 14 hours, and it takes me a long time to fully "wake up" - I'm drowsy for hours after getting out of bed, I will mostly just fall back to sleep and nap for two or three more hours. This means that some days in the week I am awake for very few hours in the day.
This fact astonishes and sometimes disgusts my friends: when I say I still sleep until mid-afternoon, I am accused of chronic laziness, of being immature, which is frustrating and embarrasing. I've been hoping for years to find out that it is beyond my control; now reading sites like medlink.com and webmd.com, I can contend that I have a sleep disorder, perhaps hypersomnia.
Sleep disorders are well-documented in the US, but are a relatively ignored phenomenon in the UK (although it's tricky to find a sleep disorder site not set up by a bed/mattress company). To read more about sleep disorders, go here.
