Does my child have sleep apnea?

My child is a four year old who snores mostly throughout the night and will sleep through an atomic blast. She has said more recently about feeling tired after getting home from daycare. This has been going on for the last 3 or 4 months. She normally gets 10 hrs of sleep a night, and we keep her mostly on a strict sleep schedule. She seems like in a daze most of the time, attention span is waning, and even though it has always been a struggle, she doesnt have the safety concerns that most kids have. For example, she will try and run in a parking lot (mainly cause she is excited), but she has been told about being careful mutiple times. Even though my wife and I think that she would eventually be in gifted and talented, this recent behavior has caused some concern.

What doctor (specialist) should be seen about this? Has anyone experienced this before? Improvement seen after treatment? Any changes in the home to be tried before seeing a doctor?

I need a copy of a HBO documentary…can’t find it for sale?

AMERICAN HOLLOW. by Rory Kennedy (yes, the Kennedy Family) HBO documentary directed and produced by Rory Kennedy, AMERICAN HOLLOW is a fascinating oral and visual history of the Bowling clan of Kentucky. AMERICAN HOLLOW is that rare experience: a sympathetic and strength-giving portrait of love and kinship in the face of hard times. Iree Bowling, the clan’s seventy-year-old matriarch, is the narrator of the family’s struggle against poverty, hanging steadfastly to their land as they supplement their government checks by collecting bloodroot and ginseng. The introduction is by Rory Kennedy, who, in the process of making the film, lived with the Bowlings over the course of a year.
