why is my son exhausted all the time?

Sarah,
As a child I always needed a lot of sleep. No matter how many hours I slept during the night I could always get a nap in as well. To this day I'm the same way and I'm almost 26. My health is in great condition but I still for some reason sleep a lot. I have found that when I don't get enough sleep (like most of college) I easily get run down and get infections. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband that often tucks me into bed when he senses that I'm getting sleepy!

While I was still in High School, i had a simular problem. I would get so exausted, I'd come home after school and take a nap for a few hours. They ended up doing a sleep study on me to see how well I was sleeping, and they discovered have sleep apnea. I have really good lung functions too, so that really did have anything to do with it, for me. I was the fact that my sinuses and all that gunk was preventing me from breathing properly while I was sleeping. I've had my adenoids taken out a while ago and more recently I have had my tonsils taken out. My husband and I go to bed around 11-midnight, and I'd have to be work at 7:30 pror to the surgery I was so exausted in the morning I could harld function, and there had been a few times that I almost feel asleep while driving. But after, its a completely different story, I'm getting a much better qualty of sleep. I'd look in to the qualty of sleep he is actually getting, and not necessarly the amount.
