7 Ways To Manage ADHD In Children

5. Get More Sleep

Dreamstime

It is a proven fact that children who have ADHD aren't getting the amount of sleep of other children their age. This can be because of diet laden with caffeine, or it can be that a child has a sleep disturbance that is keeping them from getting the proper rest.

Stimulants used to treat ADHD often cause a child to not be able to sleep too. It becomes a cat and mouse game of treating the condition and then giving another medication to treat the side effects of insomnia. Work with a doctor and find a great way for the child to sleep more, even if it means using natural remedies like melatonin.
