i would say listen to your body, it knows what you need.
i WISH i could sleep like that for a week or so....enjoy it if you can....this phase may not last long.
also it could be an indicator something is amiss....do a personal inventory with diet stress and other things and see if you can come up with a cause for the need for increased sleep.

A healthy person can go 17 hours of being awake and feel not the slightest of being tired. Of course the more stressful and physical your job the more tired you will be, but even at that you should still be sleeping no more than 8 hours a day.
When I was working in the rolling stock train car industry, I had a ridiculous schedule of 1 week 6:30 Am - 4:30PM, and next week 8:00PM - 6:00AM, rotating. It was hell, but I managed to get sleep in, and I didn't sleep that long.
Two things could be your issue, one you don't have a sleep pattern, but usually that involves LESS sleep, not more.
Or, two there is something wrong medically. I'd see a doctor either way, fatigue and over sleeping is a prime symptom that something is wrong, whether it being a common cold, or something more serious. Better be safe and if this persists, go to a doctor and tell them everything.

How on earth can you describe that as an "issue", man i would love to sleep like that for a while.
That being said, i think vitamines might help you, specifically C and D. Preferably from food and not in pill-form.

Do you snore loudly when you sleep do you know? If so, I think I may know what's going on..

This. Either you are exhausted or something is wrong. Or stress. Getting stressy makes me sooo tired. Or feeling overwhelmed it's used as an escape.
Any of that ring a bell?
