Child Seems To Be Lethargic And Sleepy

Hi, My usually active and energetic five year old seems rather lethargic and sleepy the last few days. This is a child who usually bikes 2 miles with me every evening. He has no fever, no sore throat, cough, earache or anything. He simply seems very tired and a bit clingy/sensitive. Any thoughts?
