Children sleep more with any infection - infectious mononucleosis included. Does he have any other features to suggest he is ill?
Is he getting enough sleep at night or is it possible that he stays awake using his computer or mobile phone. This is a very common event these days.
A scary possibility is of some drug he has taken is the cause.
Can you wake him? If not take him to an Emergency Department.
I think a medical check tomorrow would be needed in any case.
