Answers:
You can look at it that she is sleeping her life away!. There is so much you could be doing!. I believe she will get into this pattern and it will be the only thing she knows!. I think she may have a hard time getting in to the swing of thing when she starts to work!. She may choose sleep over working!. I have seen this in my daughters father!. He had the same schedule as your sister and he has never held a job for more then 3 months!. Last year he had 11 jobs!. Home on the couch is where he wants to be!. Good Luck!.!.!.I say get up and get busy!. Do something, even if its not the greatest thing in the world or fun, it is still something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would say she really needs to go to a doctor--with someone else in the family along to be sure she tells the doctor everything (my husband tends to leave out very important details when he sees the doctor)!. I lived a very similar way when I was in my deepest depressions--mostly before kids came along and required me to snap out of it!. Even if there's nothing physically wrong, she ought to be seen for the possibility of depression!. Though there certainly are a number of physical problems that can cause chronic tiredness!. I hope things turn around for her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd be more worried about what is causing the excessive sleep!.

She should be checked for depression and low thyroid and any other medical conditions!.

In addition, I would be concerned about the possibility of drug abuse!.

Too much sleep can cause depression and deconditioning, and a lack of physical activity overall can raise risk of diseases including diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think the more important question is why is she sleeping so much!? Is she on drugs!? Does she have some illness that is causing her to be so tired!? Is she anemic!?

Not sure there would be any real side effects of being so rested, but I would find out what is really going on with her now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

she needs to get a jobWww@Answer-Health@Com

well im not a doctor or anything but i belive that if this continues she will not be able to have any kids after the age of 73, due to this she should have hot wild sex for the next 3 years until she is pregnant with her childWww@Answer-Health@Com
