I think everyone's body is unique and their bodies have their own unique of sleep requirement. I know a lot of people who sleep just 4 hours and are still fine and I know people who need at least 9 hours of sleep
Diabetes that isn't dealt with well can lead to more sleep.
Not having a consistent sleep cycle could lead to less sleep as you might not be able to adapt quickly enough to the time changes and might even get insomnia in the process.
Something like that could be caused by scheduled 2-week night shifts, then 2-week day shifts, then 2 weeks off, etc.
Boredom is also another factor. If I can't find something to do, I can easily find myself slipping into a nap. But that's a rare occasion for me.
I typically work nights as I need to work Stateside time from Japan, and that causes me to have an irregular sleep pattern of about 5-6 hours of sleep, then a 2-3 hour nap in the late afternoon. It's probably not the healthiest...

Depression is one thing that causes adults to sleep too much. When I was going through a difficult time many years ago, I found that my way of getting through and even trying to ignore how I felt and how depressed I was was to just sleep, as everything went away then.
Boredom is also another factor that can cause sleeping too much. This is not something I have gone through too often, but when I have done everything I have needed to and I find myself not knowing what to do with myself, I do end up heading to lay down and falling to sleep.

It is actually abnormal to sleep excessively and anyone expressing such should know that there is an underlying medical condition or a sleep disorder.
Fatigue, exertion, excessive heat, narcolepsy, hyperglycemia, certain drugs are some of the most common causes of excessive sleep. An adult needs an average of 8 hours sleep in a day to feel refreshed, rejuvenated and repair the body.

Sleeping too much, often defined as consistently sleeping over 9-10 hours a night, can be a sign of underlying health issues such as sleep apnea, depression, or poor sleep quality. While sleep is essential for recovery, oversleeping may disrupt the body's natural rhythms and lead to feelings of fatigue during the day.
I don’t sleep too much, as I’m aware of the consequences it can have on my health, like disrupting my circadian rhythm and increasing the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes. I stick to 7-8 hours for better balance.
I think what causes people to sleep too much is more of the activities they engage in on a daily basis. There are times that I also sleep too much. And that is when my body has experienced extensive stress.
Apart from it being a health challenge that causes people to sleep too much, some people have just been sleeping for long hours from childhood. They were not trained to alway wake up early in the mornings. They would still struggle with sleep and can only function well when they sleep long hours.
