"I cannot function with less than ten hours."

For all the people who know me well, they know that I've got a small addiction to sleeping.  For example, a phrase that I've said several times in my life is, "I cannot function with less than ten hours."
And the funny thing is if I could get my ass out of bed before I hit the ten hour mark, I could function just fine.  I've had to do so for work and class and whatnot.  However if there's nothing telling me to "get the hell up" I will sleep until it's dark outside.  Honestly, I hate this part of me because I hate wasted time and sleeping only wastes precious hours that you could have used to do something productive, but in my head when my alarm goes off (at noon) I can't think of anything more productive than to sleep.
I've looked up online causes of oversleeping just to see if maybe there was a good reason behind it.  Immediately I learned online that I had cancer.  After I shook that one off I read that depression, stress, substance abuse, and sleep apnea are common causes of oversleeping.  Seriously so unhelpful.  I was hoping to find some disorder or addiction that's not harmful but very common and had a cool name like dormiromania, but all I found was "Zoë, you may be depressed and you should probably drink less wine." This is why I hate the internet.
After much pondering I thought that maybe I just love my dreams.  I mean I have some of the weirdest/craziest/kickass-est dreams sometimes and they feel so real that maybe I just wanna stay in there for a while longer and check out what happens?  Coming from a Fall Out Boy lyric, "I need more dreams and less life."  They probably mean it in a more depressing, emo way but whatever.  It's like the movies, only I'm the star sooo what could be better? 
But in conclusion I've found nothing out from today's brain-picking other than sleep is my one true love and I don't need a reason for that.
