Medications can affect everyone differently, so one can only assume that your friend's heavy sleeping is attributed to a side effect of this drug. 60mg however seems like an overkill dose. The usual dose for treating anxiety is 2-3 mg/day given in two or three divided doses. Insomnia is treated with 2-4 mg given at bedtime. But 60mg doesn't seem appropriate for any condition. Did you mean to type 6mg?

A few side effects of Lorazepam that could trigger prolonged sleep are:
drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, weakness

Lorazepam is used to relieve anxiety. It works by slowing activity in the brain to allow for relaxation. Based on the indications for this drug, I would think that your friend simply could've had too much at one time. Not necessarily an overdose, but more over that their body wasn't ready to adjust to the dosage of the medication that was administered. This is just my opinion, but I hope by now things have gotten better for your friend.
