Throw a blanket party? No just kidding. I would physically walk him/her to medical to have them checked out to first see if it's a medical problem. If that is ruled out, it's time to recommend that this person seek counseling. Especially since this is an ongoing issue. The person maybe trying to get a medical chapter out or release.

Sometimes trying to "solve " a problem or issue yourself can make matters worse. Don't approach them in a threatening manner and don't make them feel off guard or threatened, they may respond in a way that you may not like.

If you can, I would talk to a counselor first, and see what they recommend on how to approach this service member about this situation.

I wish you the best of luck. I hope whatever you try works for both you and the service member too.

Could be a medical problem, could be a sign of depression, could be related to poor sleep or bad sleeping habits. I have known several soldiers (including myself on occasion (like after a rough night studying at SLC) where I would return to my room after PT and just fall asleep until reporting time.

If this is a new problem, then something has changed in the Soldier's lifestyle that needs to be accounted for.
