Maybe but maybe not. It self as a independent won't but if you are also not eating healthy and over eating fatty stuff then also sleeping a lot then yes.
When your asleep you don't eat so you would lose weight but you would also save energy therefore burn less weight therefore if your asleep you also aren't excising burning off food you may have just ate leading to gaining weight.
And because it effects metabolism that will slow which again will cause weight but that's more to do with the fact you're not making it better by exercising.

So excessive sleep would depend on what you were doing before you slept. If you are starving before you sleep you are obviously not gonna gain weight. If you are eating junk food all the time then sleeping afterwards then yes.

yes it does... sleeping less hours, and sleeping in excess can lead to weight gain, because it will mess up with your metabolism, sugar levels and other stuff

worse if you also eat a lot, or eat badly... spend all day focused on screens with no physical activity and what not...

if you're sleeping more than 9 hours often, it can lead to more issues than just weight gain

[TacosRAwesome]

Probably the opposite. The more you sleep the less time you spend eating.

there may be a link between excess sleep and weight after all in order to be healthy you have to eat right and sleep right i know i totally dont look like i do that which i kinda dont but i plan to xD this year im making the change lol.

[ArtemisSilver]

No, it has to do with calories in vs calories out. Definitely could be a sign of other health problems though.

[exitseven]

Sometimes lack of sleep will cause that. At least if you are sleeping you can't eat.

[DavidRaul]

I don't see a problem there. I sleep a lot and haven't gained weight due to excessive sleep

[RedThread]

sure if you're eating just as much and not getting exercise.

[Deku2009]

No the 2 don’t directly involve each other either starving or if the person already is really fat can lead to excessive sleep. So can stress

[maximumpower]

If the person ate a lot of unhealthy food right before going to sleep.

[TallAnon]

If it causes you to not lose enough calories, sure, but it's not the sole factor involved for sure

[Bang5luts]

Yes. It can by slowing your metabolism

[pizzalovershouse]

Yes cuz then your not very active

[Mart10]
