DS age 1 Sickness bug day 3- sleeping on and off all day, should I worry?

Just this really,

We've been away in Turkey and DS caught a sickness and tummy bug. He's been vomiting for the last 3 days on and off but today seemed to have his appetite back slightly- however he slept until 9am this morning, then wanted another nap at 11:40am and then he woke up, had some lunch, was sick a little (he gagged on some plain potato and caused a spew up, so I think more that than bug) and has now gone back to sleep less than an hour later.

We did arrive back home at 2am so he's had a disrupted sleep but he did sleep a lot of the flight.

Is this a normal amount to be sleeping being poorly or should I worry? Have been syringing in oral rehydration salts or squash or diluted juice since day 1 so he's drinking.

When he's awake he's tearing round and happy in himself, it's just the sheer amount he wants to nap that's sending me off my postnatal anxiety cliff?

Sounds normal to me

If when he's awake he's running around then I'd say normal. If when awake he was lethargic and not wanting to play or engage with you then I'd be worrying.
