What Causes Hypersomnia In A 14 Year Old Teenager?

My 14 year old granddaughter always wants to sleep. She says she likes to nap. She also said she did research and found that the majority of teenagers take naps and that there is nothing wrong with that. She always sleeps, on her computer or phone. Other than that she says she is bored so she sleeps. Please try to help her father and I to understand what is going on. This behavior has been at least 3years if not more. Thank you
