Is it normal to sleep for 11 hours a night?

I have to sleep for at least 10-11 hours to feel like I have got adequate rest. I am not lazy, I am athletic but feel like I am wasting my life sleeping.

    I have the same problem I only feel well rested if I sleep at least 12 hours every night. I prefer to get 16 or 17 hours though. I'm 20 and some nights I go to bed as early as 8. I wish I could feel rested with less hours of sleep.

    Keep training, I wish I could sleep that long, it's more than healthy to sleep more than 8 hours.

    But you say you feel like you are wasting your life sleeping so, as Echoes said in the comment above, aren't you over training maybe?
