What Causes Sleepy Feeling All Day To A 5 Year Old?
My 5 year old son says he is "sleepy" all day long - we hear it at least 10+ times a day. He eats well. The only thing he ever says is he doesn't sleep well because he has bad dreams. Should we consider getting his iron, glucose, etc. checked? I am concerned as he is tired during the day and doesn't seem to want to do much other than watch tv.

In my opinion you should not allow him to watch much tv. You may encourage him for an outdoor activity. It would be a good idea to get him iron and Thyroid checked.
