Having Noticed Difficulty In Falling Sleep During Night
My son is on adderall 30 mg daily, and has difficulty falling asleep sometimes, not always. Since it's summer I really have not put a bedtime for him and he is 16. He usually would stay up until about 1:30 and sleep until 12noon. Last night he was still up at 4:30am. What should I do?

Hello
Welcome here.
Has your son's adhd symptoms resolved?
What does he do at the time when hes awake in night?
Does he really has sleep problems or he just stays awake for his interest, busy doing some work?
The answers to these questions would help find an appropriate solution.
However you should strictly make him follow a bedtime routine.
And concerta should be taken in morning and not in evening, if he does so.
Hope this helps.
