Ok so this has nothing to do with gymnastics but rather DD's mysterious sleepiness.
DD last fall October was ill for most of the month MD ran a bunch of tests found nothing. UGH!! She got better seemed fine all winter actually she was rather well this winter a new twist for her. Now just this week she is tired all over again back to MD a whole bunch of new tests. No answers yet. DD eats well, sleeps enough and does not slug caffeine. They also screened for depression and found her to not be depressed.
Just wondering if other have had this experience with teen girls and what helped. Not sure if we need to limit gym or push through it. MD's has said push through but it seems so out of character for her to be so tired. I feel a little guilty pushing her through activies when she is tired. She can make it through most of practice but, not all. Coach is ok with her leaving he says just get her healthy.
I was wondering if some teens are just more tired at times and need more sleep. Any thoughts or sotries would help me feel at ease.
