[QUOTE="LucyB, post: 425767, member: 3472"] My 15 yo recently had a sleep study. He has a couple of good days, and then has a day when he is totally exhausted and can't get out of bed. We ruled out other things first such as depression and physical problems such as thyroid problems and G/I issues becuase he also complains of stomach aches. The sleep study was the only thing that came back abnormal. It turns out he has a couple of problems. He has something called delayed sleep phase disorder, where he doesn't go into dream sleep until a long time after he starts sleeping. He also has a lot of hypopneas, which are not quite as severe as apneas where you actually stop breathing. They have suggested a few possible solutions including tonsillectomy and adenoid removal or maybe a CPAP sleep machine. If he snores or anyone else in the family has sleep apnea, I would really recommend going to a sleep clinic for at least a consult and see if they want to order a sleep study. [/QUOTE]
