I think that this is unrelated to her AR. She may be responding with excess sleep on account of physical tiredness, effect of medicines (if she is on any cough and cold medicines, for example). Or if you are breastfeeding and the mother is taking sedatives. Is she well otherwise or suffering from fever, infection of any organ, etc? If not, then just continue to monitor her health for some more days before deciding if you need to take her to the ER.
