One thing I always forget to mention: when you start sleeping more, you will probably notice that you feel drowsier during daytime for a while. If you consistently sleep more, the drowsiness will wear off. But this is why many people complain about “sleeping too much” or not becoming alert after sleeping exceptionally long. It’s your brain’s way of saying you should sleep more.
I haven’t seen any good explanations for this effect, but I think it’s simply to get yourself more “hungry” of sleep when you do have time for it.
