title: [Chronic fatigue and sleep disorders in adolescents].
abstract: To be, or to feel tired, is a frequent complaint at any age, and which does not seem in itself to be specific of the teenager. If it frequently lies within the scope of an organic pathology, acute or chronic, besides while being able to be a revealing element for it, it is often insulated and asks a rigorous step in the evaluation of its various possible components. It is then important to be in an active listening and patient, and not in a hasty regulation of a "cosmetic" treatment of this subjective allegation. It is all the work of the doctor whom to support the emergence of the subjacent complaint whose tensions and stakes of adolescence post there their singularity.
