My bro had meningitis when he was a kid (hes now 16), the bacterial version i think, and he had to be in hospital for weeks. Ive noticed he sleeps for A LOT longer than normal people do. Im guessing that its a long term effect of the meningitis (ive seen it in another post) but when say theres a phone call for him or someone waiting for him outside in the morning and i have to wake him up, i have to practically thump him with some force because he doesnt seem to respond to the phone ringing or any loud-ish noise that most people would wake up to (even me talking). Do you think that is linked to it aswell or is it just him lol?
