Why I'm sleeping in a lot lately (and have still been being tired)

Been having lots of dreams lately. Naturally, I've forgotten most of the ones I've woken up with as the days have gone on. A couple I remember definitely.
Like this morning's, since it's still fresh in my head. There were these two cave entrances near each other, and clusters of jewels were growing from the wall in each. Each one had more than one type of jewel, but they were all different from the ones in the other cave. So, I picked up 5 or 6 of each type of jewel and put them in my pocket. Pocketful of gems. I was with a few friends too. We go away (I remember what we did, but in the interest of keeping the re-telling short and pertinent to the gems) When we came back, other people had been there and cleaned out the whole first entrance, and some of the other entrance. They were also watching us, waiting for us to go away again. In the second entrance was a bit of cardboard which was supposed to be disguising the fact that the entrace did not end, but the top was folded and had fallen down, so we could see there was more cave entrance with more jewels beyond. We decided to leave so that the other people didn't become suspicious, but we'd come back later.
(Is this dream long enough in the retelling yet? Wait, there's more)
So, we go away and come back (again, in the interests of shortifying...) and go into the first entrance and dicover there's cardboarrd at the back there too, but it's been very cleverly disguised. We go behind and pillage some more with a backpack, then come out and replace the cardboard since the other people were obviously too stupid to notice it. We go into the second entrance again, and go behind the very silly and crappy cardboard disguise of the other people. They've only pillaged a foot or so further in. We continue on, and come to a whole massive cave _packed_ with jewels that had grown from the walls and ceilings. We make a cleverly disguised cardboard entrance blocker, have our own personal gem wonderland, and the other people don't find it and only get the bit up to our disguised blockage.
Long enough? That's because I had it this morning. It's three times as long with the bits where we went away in it, and longer still if I describe the type of jewels, observations, and conversations in the jewel places. For instance, the turquoise/opal (one jewel looked like both in my dream) had a little gem stem on it because it had literally grown like a flower out of the wall.
Ok, Ok. Now, onto the small snippets of other dreams. Yes, small.
I was having a vivid dream I won't subject you all too, and in it there was this guy with a loud big booming kinda voice. I woke up, and realised I could still hear the voice. On investigation, the primary school across the road was having it's sports carnival, and the voice I could hear was the guy on the microphone. Horrid voice to dream about, when you think about it.
And the other one, from a few weeks ago. I was in a bank, and the bank was being held up. We all had to say who we wanted killed, and I said some woman and then told her I was sorry, but it was because she hadn't been with us last time the bank was held up and we had to choose, so I didn't know her like I knew the other people.
Same dream. For some reason, the bank robber needed to ask my mother something. I told him where she would be. Cut to a scene in a parking lot where there's some cars parked. I'm in the bank still, this is a scene without me in it. My mum is in this ute. The robber opens the door, and my mother falls sideways in all her rotting flesh and sickly sweet smelling glory. Turns out the apocalypse had happened outside the bank, and my mother had been dead inside that ute in the extremely hot sunshine for many, many weeks. Her corpse was very much decayed in the manner of the worst zombie you can think of (except she wasn't a zombie, she was just dead). It was not a pleasant thing to dream about.
