Dr Phil Kieran: Daughter is tired all the time since starting college

"Medically, fatigue is a very common symptom, with infinite causes. She may well be fatigued as her body adapts to a new routine of early morning travel, commuting, and the intensive setting of college."

Some people feel they can’t ask for help when starting college, because they are expected to ‘adult’ their way out of any issues. This should be encouraged, as it shows they can overcome obstacles. 

My daughter seems to be tired all the time since starting college last month. She has a long commute and classes all day, so it’s not surprising. 

In the last week, she has started to say she feels too tired to eat and has gone straight to bed when she gets home. What would you suggest?
