Well, no, sleeping too much isn't bad for your health so to speak. But, feeling like you need to sleep a lot may be an indication of something else going on with respect to your health. Are you getting enough exercise? Are you eating right? Depressed perhaps? Do you drink alcoholic beverages often? Have you always needed this much sleep, or is it just a recent thing? If its just a recent thing, maybe you're coming down with something.
I wouldn't be nearly as worried about sleeping too much as I would be about WHY it is I felt the need to sleep so often.

The more you sleep, the more you let your body rest and the less your heart has to work. 9 1/2 isn't long, it's a good number of hours to sleep, you'll live longer than someone who doesn't sleep this long (unless other reason occur, ex: you smoke).
Long is atleast 11 hours a day and your physical condition will suffer under this as your body will get used to this. You need to exercise almost every day, if you do this then you have nothing to worry about.

Some people need more sleep than others for various reasons. But it would be a good idea to inform your doctor. You may have a low haemoglobin, which is easily corrected with iron tablets. Don't worry about it. But do see a doctor.

some people need more sleep than others. try exercising more and eating better. it's possible you have a viral infection and the extra sleep is your body's way of healing itself.
