Hi!
Yes. When I was in high school I began with the same type of problem. I wasn't tested until
about 15 years later. PLEASE have your son tested
in a sleep clinic. I hope he gets help early. It sounds very much like narcolepsy (which I have), which typically begins during adolescence. If your son is overweight and snores, this could be a clue that sleep apnea is a problem also. (I had a mild form of that too. However, you don't HAVE to be overweight.) Of course, it may not be any of these. But I think it's imperative that he's sees a doctor, preferably a sleep specialist. Good luck and let us know what happens. God bless you and your son!
