For me, for older kids, the two big um, the two big ones, one one we know about and one may be a surprise.

Um the first one is, of course, sleep apnea.

So any snoring in a child uh outside

Of cold, of course, outside of them being sick, should get checked out because that kid kiddos who have sleep apnea are gonna get awakened quite a bit and they're gonna look tired during the day, snoring, breathing through their mouth, sleeping in weird positions, waking kind of breathless, things like that.

So that's something to get checked out for sure.

The one that's really surprising that

I've seen it feels like an epidemic.

I don't, I'm shocked.

I'm seeing it so much.

Is restless legs in kids.

So it restless legs kind of is a misleading name because it really is painful legs.

It's incredibly painful.

So if your kiddo is taking a long time to go to sleep and they complain that their legs hurt.

or they're up for a long time in the middle of the night, like hours, and they cannot get back to sleep.

Restless legs is caused by low blood levels of ferritin.

And ferritin is the iron storage capacity in the blood.

It's not hemoglobin.

That can be fine, but ferritin can be in the basement.

And if it is, this that causes significant discomfort at bedtime and middle of the night.

So that's a blood test.
