Hmm. I’d have to go back and listen, but I thought I said that depression and chronic illness-related sleeping was different. As these articles note, excessive sleep is correlated with health issues and can be an indicator, but it’s not not a causation relationship.
Well, what I was trying to say is, even when I was (as far as I know) healthy and not depressed, I would sleep/stay in bed far longer than normal/I should simply because I didn’t want to leave my dreams yet. And I know other people who are the same way, though not always for that reason–they just liked sleeping/didn’t want to get up.

Sleeping too much is totally a thing, fyi (doesn’t mean you were, of course).

I would never wake up if I had the choice (I have very enticing lucid dreams).

Ah, I see what you’re saying 🙂
