Drinking too much water?

Can drinking too much water cause a person to sleep too much? I know drinking too much water can even cause death, but can it cause excessive sleep?

    Honey, it would be VERY hard to drink too MUCH water. We're talking over 4 gallons a day before you would possibly have any bad effects. The only problem might be making your kidneys work too hard processing it.

    You'd throw up LONG before you drank enough water to harm yourself.

    Water is very good for you and you NEED like 3 liters a day for optimum health.

    I don't think you can drink too much water. It will pass out of your body when you go to restroom. It certainly will kill you if you drink non-stop 24/7.

    I forget the exact name for it but yes, you can drink too much water and it is a form of "intoxication". It is very dangerous and people have been known to die from it. It is akin to drowning.
