Can more sleep actually be bad for you?

Yello! So last night I got tired somewhat early for me, ended up falling asleep at maybe 1:00? 1:30? Around that - also woke up kinda early, about 7:00, and actually got up feeling pretty good! Was thinking just fine, felt okay, but one thing lead to another and I ended up getting comfy again, figured more sleep couldn’t hurt so I ended up falling asleep AGAIN and woke up at about 10:00, but not feeling quite as well; kinda groggy, felt sluggish getting up, head hurt just a little bit, so that kinda makes me wonder: can getting too much sleep actually be worse for you than not enough? Could my body just naturally not require as much sleep? If it makes any difference, im 15 and pretty used to sleeping in since I usually get to sleep pretty late (typically 2-4 AM)
