4 Year Old Feeling Tired, Moody, Pale And Sleeping A Lot. What Could This Be?

My 4 year old has been very out of sorts lately.
Pale and tired. She sleeps a ton at night 12 hours easy and often naps in the afternoon.
She is moody and sad for no reason.
Her appetite is normal for her. She eats and drinks enough.
Any thoughts?
