The information in the article “Excessive Sleepiness May Be Cause of Learning, Attention, and School Problems” by Calhoun and Fernandez-Mendoza is used to show that heavy daytime sleeping may be a cause of attention, learning, and school problems among children even if they had enough sleep at night. It shows that children whose parent showed excessive sleepiness were likely to have learning, attention and conduct problems.
The important part of the article is to show the cause of the sleepiness. It shows that systems of inattention, obesity, anxiety, and depression contributed to excessive sleepiness. The article shows that few children had signs of short sleep nor was it associated with learning, attention, and behavior problems. Parents and educators should determine whether a child is suffering from excessive sleeping (Susan and Julio 2012). The questions are; what are the chemicals responsible for sleeping? Why do children sleep during the day? Can sleepiness have a clinical remedy?
