Anxiety and Depression - Too Much Sleep

Having anxiety and depression -
is there such a thing as too much sleep?

Anxiety Question:

My friend is being treated for anxiety and depression. Is there such a thing as too much sleep?

Sometimes he can't settle down and sleep for 2-3 days.
At other times he sleeps for 11-15 hours, for several weeks until he's hyper again.

Anxiety Answer:

People tend to have fairly regular daily waking - sleeping patterns but these can be disrupted by outside stressors like anxiety and depression.

Poor rhythms are usually a symptom rather than an initial cause of problems, so it might be related to the anxiety that they are feeling.

Aside from this down sides are associated with being in bed for such a long time such as poor posture, aches and sores.
