Different people need different amounts of sleep. Could be that is normal for him, but could also be a lot of other things.
I would suggest talking to him about it openly and calmly... showing concern for him. Could be he's been waiting to talk about it. Just don't 'nag' him during the convo... that will shut him down for sure.
Good luck.

Angela B and Stel 1 have already said what I was going to say to you. Please take our advice and talk to him, openly, not as a nag but as a concerned wife. You need to find out if there is a medical or physical reason first, for all the sleeping. Then, if there isn't, it will be soon enough to explore other options. And, it may be possible that he is just one of those that requires a lot of sleep. Some do. It shows that you really love him that you are so concerned about this. That's great. Good luck with this.

Everyone is different. My husband requires at least 8 hrs. of sleep and on the weekends or days when he doesn't work he might sleep 10-12 hrs. I on the other hand only require 4-6 hrs. a day unless I'm ill. Plus, your husband could have a problem that you aren't aware of at this time, maybe he should get a thorough check up and tell his Dr. how much he's sleeping and napping.

That's not normal in my opinion and if you want it to change you have to say something. Forget being a nag and tell him what our thinking. There's is more to life than sleeping. What about spending some time wiht you and the kids if you have any. What about going out and doing things, having fun, and living life. You just cant work and sleep so I say talk about it. Good Luck

okay...keep a calendar for about a week of the amount of sleep he's getting, note the naps and if it seems he is falling asleep the moment he sits down or lays down or is otherwise still. your instincts might be right. Dont NAG about it though. At the end of the week talk to him about what you observed...some things to consider are sleep apnea, blood pressure levels, weight and stress. If the two of you agree, it may be something to look into medically. If he's not concerned after seeing your observations...let it go...he'll think about it long after your discussion.

There could be something wrong like a sleep disorder or depression or he could be one of those people who needs 10 hours of sleep a night. You should ask him to mention it to his doctor or you mention it yourself. If the doctor gives him a clean bill of health, you should try to figure out a solution as a couple. Obviously this is something that is bothering you.

12 hours of sleep is a bit much, normal adults should be getting roughtly 8-9 hours. so maybe you should wake him up sometimes, and make him do stuff with you, that will keep him up for an hour or so more.

Some people need more sleep than others. If he has always been this way, it is nothing to worry about. If, however, he has recently begun to sleep longer, this is a different matter.
