My sleeping habit changed right after college graduation. I only realized how much it has changed when after a month I haven't grumbled about my alarm waking me up as early as 4:30am and skipping my morning study time. I initially felt unproductive but then I felt relaxed as well. I realized my body needed much rest after the marathon study prep for final exams. On the other hand, it also became clear to me that I didn't have any goal set for the rest of the year to keep me active. I quickly made an intentional revision on my set goals for the year, and working towards improved my sense of productivity and kept my sleeping habit in check.

Well sleeping too much in the best, could mean you're just too tired and exhausted, and in the worst, could mean you're suffering from a mental illness or disorder. There are a lot of other things needed to form a complete equation but if you're just sleeping too much and everything else is normal, then let it be. Sleep helps the growth cycle and a lot of other things, your brain gets some rest, so do your eyes, lungs, heart and mostly every other organ in your body. You can never get too much sleep. As long as all your other day to day errands are running smoothly, its nothing to worry about. If you are feeling like its interfering with those then its time to maybe evaluate yourself. See if you're feeling symptoms of depression, loneliness or any other disorder or illness and discuss that with a mental health professional. That is all I can think of right now. If you feel like you wanna talk feel free to contact me or any other listener, and of course if you can, get in touch with a therapist or psychologist. I hope that you're well and you stay that way. Stay safe and take care!
