Research Notes on Insomnia in Children
Insomnia in children has the same symptoms as it does in adults, and is defined by difficulty falling and/or staying asleep. During the day, children may be irritable, depressed, aggressive, or have problems with memory. The most common cause of insomnia in children is too late of a bedtime, causing children not to get enough sleep.1
Fast Facts:
- Children with ADHD may also suffer from a sleep disorder, such as insomnia.2
- About 75 percent of children who have major depressive disorder also have insomnia.2
- There are no sleep medications currently approved by the FDA for use in children.2
