He has ADHD and the doctor thinks it may have something to do with his sleep issues but I can say that my son has been on medication for less than 6 months for ADHD and it made no difference. What did help was giving him melatonin before bed and Valerian root. Valerian root is supposed to help calm us and help us stay asleep. If my oldest doesn't take any meds before bed, he is up again within 4-6 hours and he isn't able to fall back asleep. This makes for a cranky teenager by the end of the day and then the routine just keeps going and going and going o_0 My mom was telling me that there is melatonin that has a two sided tablet where one side is instantly dissolved and the other side is slowly dissolved to help stay asleep longer. I want to look into that, I think that might help my son. Good luck and let me know what ends up working out for Alex. Helgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00292748244740656193noreply@blogger.com
