The optimum amount of sleep is 7-9 hours (no matter what kind've activity you do)..you might need less if you're less active (sit at a desk all day). but minimum of 6 hours. Set an alarm clock..and wake up. If anything..it's better to wake up with 7 hours of sleep than 9. 8 of course is the optimum. The thing is once you past 9 hours...you're body actually starts burning energy rather than building it (to keep you asleep) and then your body also goes into a hibernation stage (thinking you're gonna sleep for a long time)..and that's why when you wake up..you feel tired, because it takes even longer for your body to kind've "kick start" for the day. Hope this helps.

Some people need to sleep this much every night to be refreshed. That is not that different from the norm. In others it is a sign of depression.

Many things can cause excess sleep:
1) It's natural for that person
2) friend has sleep apnea, does he/she snore?
3) Certain prescription drugs
4) Heavy physical exercise
5) depression

Diet can play a part i think, the wrong foods can sap your energy.
