[quote=Anonymous]Lots of discussion about meds/sleep issues over on the Special Needs forum, so may be worth your time to do some searching there too. I agree that improving sleep hygiene is a good first step - consistent bedtime, removal of the Dot, more exercise, etc. 1mg of melatonin really isn't much and was hugely helpful to my DD who is also on a stimulant medication. She also takes a chewable form around 8 p.m. each night and is usually ready to fall asleep right around 9. You can also explore alternative stimulants to see if one might have less of an effect on sleep. Jornay is a new medication now available for ADHD that is dosed at night and activates about 10 hours after dosing; it has less sleep-related effects than meds like Concerta, Ritalin, etc.[/quote]
