What Does Long Hours Of Sleep In Infants Indicate?

My seven week old son has been diagnosed with VSD. I am concerned about the amount of sleep he is getting. He is only awake for about a half hour at a time. Maybe 3-5 hours a day. Basically eats and goes back to sleep. He is a very restless sleeper at night in his bassinet but sleeps well on the floor during the day. Is this something that needs to be checked on by his pedestrian?
