What Causes Tiredness And Falling Asleep In School?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? My 13 year-old daughter stays tired all the time. She has even fallen asleep in school. She does get 7-8 hours sleep during the school week. She sleeps on the weekends at least 10 hours and wants to nap during the day. She is active in sports and has alot of friends, so it is not depression.

Hi..... I understand your concern. I too agree that this does not look like depression. I feel that it could be hypothyroidism. I suggest you get her evaluated for this and get her thyroid profile checked.
