Adhd and sleep: Many children with adhd have sleep trouble. There are many options, if he is medicated for his adhd then you might talk to his doctor about a lower dose. There are some medications that can help impulsivity that also help kids sleep (tenex (guanfacine) for one). There are also herbal solutions like melatonin that can be helpful. Also basic things like no screen time one hour before bed.
