What Causes Deep Sleep With Difficulty In Waking Up?

Johnny falls asleep and has an extremely difficult time waking up. I just watched him fall asleep with his baby next to him and the baby woke up and after the baby cried and crawled on him , Johnny streteched and moved, but did not wake up. then the baby took the e-cigarette out of his daddy s hand and I intervened. This deep sleep has been a problem since he was young, but I am worried that there is a deeper problem , especially when he is in charge of their son. He has recently been diagnosed with some kind of a thyroid thing and they are doing further tests. What do you think? I mean his wife has to practically kick hi out of bed to get him up inthe morning. In fact just now when he woke up after a short 30 minute sleep, he thought it was morning and that he was late for work. Help

Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.

I think there should be brain scan and sleep studies to further figure out the problem. Deep sleep is good for anyone but if it is giving difficulties to his social and personal life this need to be intervened.



I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
