Standing by for my stroke.
I often sleep 12 - 14 hours.
really, I get about 6 or 5 hours and is pisses me off. I wish I could sleep more.
My God! How are you able to manage that? ... :-) ...

Don’t worry about a stroke unless you’re taking drugs.

Actually, it is hard to get 'too much' sleep. The magnificent nervous system of the body actually sends out tranquilizers to various muscles and desensitizers to the skin. You are in essence, paralyzed. The body does this to keep you from being awakened through tactile sensation and to keep you from physically acting out your dreams. This is why, in your dreams, you often feel like you can't move. It's because you can't.
The drug flow/signal to keep you asleep is shut off when the 'body' (brain,central nervous system,subconscious) decides it is done sleeping or is interrupted by external sources (alarm clock/noise/etc).
What is even more interesting is that you can tell your subconscious exactly what time to wake you up. As long as you don't deprive it of normal sleep periods, it will wake you up accurately.
We are more than we know.
