Sleep: It is perfectly normal for the child to fall asleep on the bus after putting in a full day at school and doesn't take naps.

May be normal: If he's recently started kindergarten all day, this may be normal. 5 year olds have a very busy day- running around, learning all new ideas, social skills, and problems solving all day long! some of them are exhausted at the end of the school day. Make sure he is eating well, and getting enough sleep at night. If you are concerned, have him checked by his doctor.
