Sorry cant help you there H.. My dB still Hardly sleeps and often calls me at odd hours for him Over here.. Dont think there is à solution as i know several adhd who just dont sleep much.,
Think its just part of their condition but maybe Nicole might have some light to shed..cOnsidering she has à child with adhd and there are Surely new techniques or not.. Who knows..

So many nights dB used to get up and cook to eat at an ungodly jour or get up and watch Tv.. À few times hé too thé car for a ride.. Hé had sévère adhd and still has but finally at 30 odd hé has learnt to calm down à bit

Stay strong.. And keep him active during thé day which im sûre you already do..

Halex, my son has liquid firm vitamin B6 in the mornings and liquid Manganese at night. Given to us by his chiro/kinesthesiologist and working wonders on the sleep front. A friend uses melanin tablets with her daughter which promotes a natural sleepy state.

Would you be allowed to give a foster child medication that isn't prescribed?

Over the counter yes, but I would still check first with the agency, also as he is on medication.

Have a talk to your pharmacist and tell him the situation.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
