You have already received some very good answers. Sleep is away the body heals itself, relieves tension or just plainly recoups what it has spent. It is also one of the signs of depression. Should what started last week continues for any length of time , say for more than another week, then you should schedule an appointment with your doctor.
Why: Mainly for whatever reason you body is craving sleep, that rest is not fixing whatever is wrong. Whatever your body is attempting to correct may need medical intervention to help the body heal; such as an antibiotic. While your with your doctor you can also be screened for depression. I don't think depression is you problem as there are many other symptoms that i believe you would have mentioned if you do or did have a form of depression.
My advice: Let your parents know whats going on. They are your best resource for medical information about things that may be troubling you. Then schedule an appointment with your family doctor if this continues to be a problem. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

It could mean that you're ill and your body is just taking care of itself. sleeping a lot helps your immune system. Thats why when you're sick, doctors tell you to rest and sleep a lot. It could just be overexhaustion. Maybe last week you had a very busy week (compared to normal weeks) and your body is just telling you that you need to rest. or it could be that you have a certain type of sickness. Maybe Mononucleosis? I had that. Its commonly known as the "Kissing Disease". Its when your spleen and lymph nodes become enlarged. A common symptom of this is being fatigued a lot, sleeping a lot, feeling sore, and the lymph nodes are swollen, white, or fuzzy. If you think you have it, go to the doctor to get it checked out.
