See Below: If your child had a normal sleep study, removal of adenoids is not going to be beneficial. There are other reasons your child can be tired, including anxiety, depression.

Get 2nd opinion: I see a lot of children with thyroid symptoms, especially sleepiness, who are told that their tests are 'normal' and they are in the low part of normal and need to be treated. Find a doctor that can interpret the tests and treat, if safe and necessary for your daughter to feel better.
