Maybe you are dealing with a lot of stress lately so your body is trying to heal itself through sleep, or maybe you are missing out on dealing with some problems linked to your emotional state. If your daily functioning is not as good as before, you should try to ask for professional help. It could also mean that you are dealing with loneliness or feeling trapped so you feel better during sleep than during waking hours.
