A member asked:
Is it possible to sleep while ritalin (methylphenidate) is still in effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Less than 15% of people who take Ritalin (methylphenidate) experience any difficulty sleeping. Many of them find the difficulty subsides with time. Some people actually find it easier to get to sleep while taking Ritalin (methylphenidate) than without.
