Growth spurts and sleep

Do babies sleep more during a growth spurt?
I don't know if I should be worried. My 5 month old is very sleepy today and when he's awake he wants to feed all the time (ebf). Should I be worried and call the doctor?

Babies can sleep more from time to time, but it could be that he's coming down with something as well. Keep an eye on him and his temperature and call the doctor if you're worried.

in my experience they tend to eat tons, shoot up, then not be bothered about food!

Not seen anything in the sleep dept but all babies are different. diyqueens advice sounds right
