Melatonin for Kids with Autism, ADHD and Sleep problems.

Melatonin for kids with sleep problems is a hot topic right now. Though it might seem that most parents give their kids melatonin supplements for sleep with their doctor’s consent, there are some dissenting voices.

Let me present the facts.

70% of kids with Autism suffer from sleep problems.
There have been studies to observe the effect of melatonin on kids with autism and adhd. At the Sleep Disorders Center at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, eleven kids with autism were randomly picked and administered liquid melatonin. 4 to 10 of the kids fell asleep more quickly and there were little or no side effects.

There are continued efforts by research scientist to discover how melatonin can help kids with autism and adhd sleep better.

The results of most of the studies so far have been positive and have shown the effectiveness of melatonin supplements in helping neurologically disabled kids sleep.
