[QUOTE="Malika, post: 462028, member: 11227"] Hello, JKF. Is there any possibility he really [I]is[/I] tired, even if he is sleeping a lot? Just putting this out as the most tentative of ideas - if it doesn't speak to you, please discard at once :) - but one of the theories I have read about ADHD is that these are actually children who are fighting off sleep and tiredness all the time by their hyperactivity... They did some experiment in Paris in which they showed that, given conducive conditions, ADHD kids actually went to sleep much quicker than the "normal" group. Certainly this is borne out by what I have seen in my son, who is hyperactive but, when he slows down a moment, actually often looks and seems tired... Despite sleeping from 8 at night to 7 or 8 in the morning most nights. As I say, just a thought that I tender for your consideration :) [/QUOTE]
