[QUOTE="DramaQueenLucy, post: 265574, member: 5541"] I am here looking for some advice. difficult child 2 has always had a hard time sleeping from the time he was a baby he would wake up in the middle of the night and be awake for hours before going back to sleep again. As he grew older the sleep pattern changed a bit but still at 9 y/o was coming home and taking a nap for 2 hours after school because of waking up at night. He has been for 2 sleep studies, the first one said to take out his adenoids and check for other soft tissue so he had that surgery the second said even after the surgery he was borderline for sleep apnea. The doctor wanted me to watch for somethings while difficult child was sleeping and come back in 3 months. He has been taking medications for sleep for about a year now with little to no help. He is currently taking trazadone 75mg at bedtime. I feel that the sleep issue effects other areas because he is tired and then not at his best. Now that we are moving on to the pre-teens it seems to be getting worse. I have heard that sleep issues are common among kids with ADHD and was wondering what others have done to help with this?
