Pediatrician,  's  Response
increase sleepiness in teenagers is very common , it's related to the stresses about body changes and insecurity .
but a few things should be done to exclude organic causes : you need to do a CBC ( complete blood counts) to exclude anemia , and thyroid function test .
regarding the bruises I recommend doing ( Pt , PTT ) test , along with the platelet count in the cbc , these pretty much role out bleeding disorders that might cause nose bleeds and back bruises.
