Hi everyone!

I'm new to the forum. Do any of you have children who have difficulty sleeping?

We’re preparing health communication materials and information about a research study for parents of children with ADHD associated insomnia.  We’d like your help in making this information more meaningful to the ADHD community.   Below is a link to a survey that has been developed to help with the design of these materials.  It will take about 10 minutes to complete.

 

This survey is anonymous, and we value your privacy. None of the information provided in this survey will be given to third parties or used for any other purpose than to help with the development of these health communication materials. These materials will be used for participation in a research study.  By clicking on the following link you will be connected to the questions:  http://tiny.cc/bKZ0K.  We appreciate your feedback!

AshleyT39939.2601736111My 14 yr. old son has never slept well, even when he was a baby.  He went in for a sleep study & we tried a few different meds w/no luck.  Luckily his doctor prescribed Seroquel and it has been a Godsend!We use MELATONIN a natural over the counter sleep aid. It works like a charm.

Prior to starting guanfacine, my child used melatonin to help him sleep.  Since starting guanfacine, melatonin no longer is needed.

I should add that the prior sleep problems were due to ADHD, not due to side effect of the stimulant.  Poor guy would have so much energy that he couldn't settle down and go to sleep.  There were times when he'd walk in circles around his room b/c he was so hyperactive!
