My brother weighs 110 pounds and he's 20, 6'0. he sleeps most of the day. i'm worried about him. what should be done? thank you!

He needs a checkup: to see if a medical condition is causing his low body weight and sleepiness. Sometimes, it's just genetic; other times its just developmental. Sometimes guys this age are growing taller so fast that their weight can't keep up. What ever is going on, he's lucky to have a sister like you! Dr. Anne
