I'm excited to see this show.  My daughter started with night tears at 18 months old. It's was horrible.  These went on until age 2 1/2. Took her to her doctor and he recommended taking her to someone who was more qualified. That speciliast told us he felt her night terrors were from ADHD but the only way to determine if she had ADHD was through a Brain Specht.  That was done and it confirmed was he suspected.  She had a severe case of ADHD and that was a good part of her night tears.  It will be interesting tomorrow if the words ADHD or ADD come up. So many people are in denial about ADHD/ADD when they do NOT have to be.

What does ADHD or ADD stand for?   

I will be very interested in this show.  I have walked, talked, and ate in my sleep.  I have also kicked doors and not remember anything.  I usually have a good time in my sleep.  I'm told that I laugh a lot.  BUT, I do get mean sometimes.  One morning when I woke up my 2 dogs were acting terrified of me.  I had a feeling I did something in my sleep.  I was having scary dreams every night for a period of time.  I figued out it might be the Noni juice (1 ounce at night) that I had started drinking.  I changed from drinking it at night to drinking it in the morning and the terrifing dreams stopped.  The Noni juice works for colitis.   

I saw a show about a guy that had drove to his mother- in- laws house and killed her in his sleep. A sleep specialist had proof that he stayed too long in his deepest sleep and he got off.  How could you live with yourself after that.  This can be scary stuff.  Sure is a mystery to me. 

I can only hope there is help out there for everyone, including me, with this problem.   I know Dr. Phil will be able to help........

My daughter too has ADHD.  She too wakes up very frequently.  Sometimes it's from nightmares, and other times she sleep walks.  Sometime with her sleep walking, she can carry on a normal conversation, and other times it's a bunch of words or noises that don't make sense at all.  Were you told how the ADHD contributes to the sleep disorder?  Well I guess it makes sense that it's contributed to unfinished business throughout the day.  I know with my daughter, she goes a 100mph.  But, I too would like more info on sleep disorders and ADHD children.  And how they are connected, and what options there are to help.
