About this study

Official title: Open Label Study of the Effect of Individualizing Daytrana Wear-times on Sleep in Children 6-12 Years Old With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Methylphenidate may improve sleep in children with ADHD. By leaving Daytrana (methylphenidate) patch for a longer time then 9 hours, many children report short sleep latencies and better quality of sleep.

Read the detailed description

Once the optimal dose of Daytrana that controlled the ADHD symptoms is established. The patch will be removed 1, 2, and 3 hours before bed time in a random fashion, at weekly intervals, and parents will keep a sleep diary.
