I haven't read the post by this young man but it makes me think about the recent work with sleep disturbances and ADHD (OK.....here I go free associating ). With all of the ADHD comorbids that we see it does make you wonder about the issue/role of sleep disturbance.

My older son had many night terrors as a child but seems to sleep like a rock now that he's 17.

Interesting.

Take care,
