[quote=Anonymous]I empathize OP. My adhd DD has always been a terrible sleeper. She was 3 years old when she finally slept through the night. Now as a teen, it is still a struggle for her to get her 8 hours of sleep per night (sorry, you probably don’t want to hear that). What has helped (a little) is playing soothing music at bedtime. She loves classical music and it helps relax her. Back rubs or massages if I’m around, melatonin (but this makes her groggy the next day). Limiting screen time an hour before bed is also important but is really hard to do as a teen. She wants to text her friends, work on assignments, etc… I suggest when your DD gets a phone in the future to be very, very strict about no phone before bedtime. [/quote]
