Hi,
Sleeping for longer period should be concern, but you have to mention exactly how long does he sleep. Secondly, if he is active during his awake time than nothing to worry about. Advise is to keep the sleep pattern consistent. Early bed time daily. Night sleep is important.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing your kid a healthy life.
Best regards,
Dr Zeeshan
