My daughter actually had a sleep study done to determine if her ADHD was caused or aggravated by lack of sleep due to sleep apnea. After three years of chronic sleep depravation, it was determined that it was caused by the Ritalin she was taking. She was switched to Strattera (a non-narcotic, non-stimulant) and now it is a whole new world. She sleeps now, she doesn't have the highs and lows that she had with Ritalin and her appetite is back and she is gaining weight (she was chronically underweight).
