Excessive sleep (16+ hours) with body/joint pain may be linked to thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or mood-related issues.

Get basic blood tests (thyroid, vitamin D/B12, CBC) and consult a physician for evaluation. You can also consult me for counselling support.
Health Tips
Maintain a regular sleep schedule, light daily exercise, and balanced diet to improve energy.

Sleeping for such extended hours and experiencing joint and body pains can be signs of underlying health issues, such as depression, sleep disorders, or physical health problems. Itâs important to seek professional medical advice to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss your symptoms in detail. Remember, taking care of your health is crucial, and reaching out for help is a positive step toward feeling better. If you're feeling overwhelmed or need immediate support, consider contacting a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life.

Hi,
Sleeping excessively along with joint and body pains can point to underlying physical or psychological concerns such as vitamin deficiencies, thyroid issues, or even depression. It’s important to get a medical checkup to rule out physical causes. If reports are normal, consulting a psychologist may help explore stress, mood, or emotional factors that could be contributing. Early attention can make a big difference.

Sleeping 16+ hours a day along with body and joint pains isnât typical âjust being tiredâ â it may point to an underlying medical or mental health condition, such as depression, chronic fatigue, thyroid issues, or even side effects of medications. Oversleeping can itself make body pain worse, creating a cycle.
Next Steps
Please consult a physician for a thorough check-up (blood tests for thyroid, vitamin D, B12, and other deficiencies, along with mental health screening). If this has been going on for weeks, itâs important not to ignore it.
Health Tips
Try setting a gentle alarm to regulate your sleep to 8â9 hours gradually instead of 16. Incorporate light stretching or short walks â movement helps with both mood and joint stiffness. Keep a journal of your sleep hours, pain levels, and mood â this can help the doctor understand patterns. Ensure hydration and balanced nutrition, since deficiencies often worsen fatigue and pain.

Thank you for sharing your concern. Sleeping for 16 hours regularly, along with joint and body pain, can feel overwhelming and may signal that your body and mind need attention. Sometimes such symptoms are linked to vitamin deficiencies, thyroid imbalance, or low energy due to lifestyle or stress. It may also relate to mood changes like depression, where both excessive sleep and body pain commonly occur.
Next Steps
The first step is to consult a physician for basic tests (vitamin D, B12, thyroid, etc.) to rule out physical causes. Alongside, gentle daily movement, exposure to sunlight, and mindful breathing exercises can help regulate your body’s rhythm.
Health Tips
If medical reports are normal, a psychologist can help you explore stress, emotions, or underlying patterns that might be affecting your energy and sleep. Please know—you are not alone in this, and with the right support, you can feel much better. Early attention will make recovery easier.
