Too Much Sleep?

Ok so I want to know if you can have too much sleep.
For the past month or so I've been really tired, all the time. I know everyone moans about this but its getting silly now. Like for the past couple of Sundays, I've come home from work at half 4, gone to bed for half 6 and slept straight through til 10am the next morning which is like 16 hours or something, ridiculous!
And like last night, I went to bed at about 1am, and woke up at about 12 dinner time, but I didn't even feel alive and awake enough to get up til about half 1. I feel really bad and that its like me being lazy but it really isn't, I'm actually knackered! And tonight at work I started yawning at about 9.30ish even though I'd had 12 hours sleep.
I do do a lot of hours at work (like 52ish this week) but I only work in a supermarket on the checkouts and going getting stuff for people, its not as if its really hard strenous work. I never used to be like this either I used to not be able to sleep!
My Mum said you can make yourself tired by sleeping too much, and that I should try and make myself get up earlier. Is that true? and does anyone know any reasons why I might have started being like this?
Cheers for any suggestions and advice!

Over the last few months I have had less sleep but now I can cope with it more than I would have been able to previously because my body is now more used to it.

Ooh that link was quite interesting, thanks.
I suppose I'll have to try getting up earlier. I think I've probably got myself into a bad sleep pattern because most days I don't start til half 1, so I know I don't have to get up early in the morning, its like I can have a lie-in everyday and I'm not used to waking up early now.
My Mum also said I probably get tired during the day as well and stuff cos I have a really bad diet
