Is it normal for my dog to sleep 16 hours a day?

He's a 1.5 year old medium mix breed. He is fit, healthy, no symptoms of anything, and gets 3 pretty good walks a day. I understand him sleeping during the day while we are at work, but even on weekends when we are home to play with him he prefers to make himself comfy and sleep from like 7 am to 2-3 pm, waking up once at noon to potty and play a little, then from like 8 pm - 4 am (we go to bed at 1030 pm and wake up everyday at 530 am). Most internet articles say like 12-14 hours is the norm. This has been his habit for at least 6 months and he seems fine in every other way. Do some dogs just have this personality?

Thanks!

Edit: He is a rescue with mild general anxiety.
