I think in moderation it's okay,my son is actually off of it because it was giving him nightmares I believe, so far so good but if he just can't sleep, I would give it to him

Yes that's really what I use it for because it's super tough for them to whine down. My son will be up the whole night. Even if I put them in bed at a decent time. I didn't give it to them tonight. We'll see how things go.

I give my kids Melatonin. Only the Walmart brand for kids and the recommended dosage. My youngest son takes guanfacine so I try not to give it to him close together.
