Sober for 1 Year - Sleeping Too Much

Hello everyone.
I am an alcoholic that has been sober one year. I feel the steps working in me, I have a good connection with my higher power , I have friends in the program, and life is good. I have a desire to live like I've never had before.
The problem is, is that I'm so tired all of the time. I can easily sleep my whole day away. I have absolutely no problem with sleeping for 14 hours on end. I don't usually sleep through the day, but I usually sleep in till 11-12 every day, even if I go to bed early.
This has been affecting me a lot because I work at 3, so I'm not able to live the life I want to like this. I have no time to do anything. More importantly, I can't go to my meetings.
I set my alarm and I just immediately go back to sleep. I feel deathly tired. This also affects my appetite for the rest of the day, and I feel more groggy when I've slept too much.
I've tried si many things and I just don't know what to do.
It's affecting me a lot. This has always been an issue for me, even before I got sober. I've struggled with depression and anxiety.
