[quote=Anonymous]Op, this was an issue for my extremely anxious DD (10 years), also has ADHD. DD was struggling with insomnia and mid-sleep wake ups 2-3 times per week. I don’t know how she was functioning as this went on for almost a year. It actually got better when her stimulant meds were increased and we added in magnesium. She already takes a small amount of melatonin every evening. We also made tweaks to bedtime routine. No sleeping in on weekends and very rare late nights - basically a steady sleep schedule all the time, and uses a noise machine again. Of course no clock in the bedroom. Now insomnia is down to once per month or so, and only a couple of hours sleep loss. [/quote]
