Suggest Remedy For Feeling Sleepy All The Time And Being Slow In All The Work

My son is 11 years old and over the last nine weeks of school I have slowly seen his grades dropping. He has always been a high honers student but now his grades are in the 80s. I spoke with his teachers and all three teachers are telling me the same thing. They say he is contently falling asleep in class and as slow as a turtle. They are having to stay on him like crazy to get his work done and literally falling asleep in his chair. Please help me figure out what is going on with him. He is the same way at home. Always tired.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
I would like to clear some of my doubts first. Is the child on any special medications.?
How many members staying in household? Any chance that child is keeping awake at night for vedio games or for internet access?
If all above answers are no, I would say Kindly get the child's blood teats done for HB TC DC PS and TFT.
Hope this helps
