La Z Boy

My dad sleeps 16 hours a day, I'm not exaggerating. He goes to bed around 6:30pm (sometimes earlier) and usually gets up around 9:00am; then proceeds to nap off and on throughout the day. Sure, he's 83 years old, but I thought you needed less sleep as you age, not more. If I was 83, I'd be trying to stay awake. After all, the 'Big Sleep' might not be that far off if you know what I mean. If I were lucky enough to grab a nap during the day, I wouldn't attempt bedtime before midnight. Maybe he has Sleeping Sickness, you know, like horses get.
