is it normal for a baby with cerebral palsy to sleep more than other babies?

3661914317 6e35ba1459 m is it normal for a baby with cerebral palsy to sleep more than other babies?
My son is 8 months old (although he was four months premature) and he still sleeps one hour and awake one hour and so on. I think this is more than my other kids did. His adjusted age would be almost 5 months old. Help?
