Thank You, Yes I Have A Sleep Problem. It Is

Thank you, yes I have a sleep problem. It is not lack of sleep but too much sleep. Yesterday I took an afternoon nap, just a short nap I thought. I awoke the next day at noon stil dressed. Altogether I had slept 15 hrs straigh through. I raced to the bathroom in pain.. Didn't make it, my kidneys have hurt all day as a result. I have early kidney disease, diabetes 2 and had a TIA stroke two months ago. I have craved sleep for a year, I seem to need a lot of sleep and now have this strange marathon sleep often. I am 73 years old have an active life but feel tired often, any work tires me out, I fall asleep in my chair. If I read I am soon asleep. My doctor has not addressed this problem yet. Thanks for any answers you can give.
