As I was saying

Excessive Sleepiness May Be Cause of Learning, Attention and School Problems
Calhoun said researchers were surprised that most of the children studied showed few signs of short sleep when tested, nor was short sleep associated with any of the learning, attention and behavior problems. She said parents and educators are good resources for determining if a child seems excessively sleepy in the daytime and the complaint should be taken seriously. Previous research found EDS prevalent in 15 percent of children from a general population sample.
Even more than 10%.
And younger.

Narcolepsy is a progressive metabolic disorder.   The earlier you look, the milder symptoms you will find.
