Yes: For some children or adults who have ADHD, difficulty with sleep initiation may be a long term problem, not related to the use of medication. Sleep medications such as melatonin can be helpful. Other sleep medications can cause a 'hang over' effect that can interfere with ADHD medications. However, if short term relief is needed, they can be prescribed together.
