Is it normal to take 24+ hour naps?

This is like the 5th or 6th time now that I’ve taken a nap and not woken up until an entire day has gone by. I’ve taken dozens of 12+ hour naps before.

I take classes on Mondays, Wednesday’s, and Fridays, so I will fall asleep after class on Monday and my Wednesday morning alarm will wake me up.

Honestly it’s starting to scare me a little bit, I set an hour long alarm if I ever know I’m going to take a nap but sometimes I just accidentally fall asleep.

I wake up hungry, angry, confused, and really having to piss.

    Thank you for calling the narcoleptic hotline... All of our operators are asleep. Please leave a message after the tone.

    Actually not normal to sleep that long unless maybe you just had a tooth pulled and were on codeine, just got back from a trip around the world, worked 10 consecutive 18 hour days, etc. etc. Definitely not 5 or 6 times recently.

    Please see your doctor ASAP.

    I'm usually the opposite. Up to 40 hours no sleep, all good. Sometimes up to five/six times in just a fortnight. Bad health? Possibly. Hallucinations, definitely!
    You're more normal than me, hombre.

    I believe that the longest I've ever slept was 25 hours in a row. It's pretty weird to wake up from such a sleep.

    I'm not sure when a nap turns into something else, but I'm pretty sure it's long before the hour hand has made a full circuit of the clock.

    This does not sound normal. It's possible the problem could be psychological (depression being the most likely candidate), but there could be a physiological issue.

    It seems to me you're right to be concerned, and you should see a medical professional about this.

      I'd say that two hours is the cut-off point between nap and sleep.
