More sleepy after viral infection

2023-01-05 13:15:47
I have noticed that my 6 year old daughter has become more sleepy after her viral infection last week. She sleeps at around 11 - 11:30 in the night. Wakes up at 7:30 in the morning to go to school. Sleeps between 5:30 to 7:30 in the evening almost every day for a week now. She never used to do that. While awake she is active, aware and chit chatting and playing with her toys. Is this something concerning?

Does she have any new extra activities in school? Or is she doing some new extra activities at home? Sleep is required for bodily growth and healing. It should settle soon.
