Hi. My oldest son (6) has ADHD. I had many problems with him having a hard time sleeping or nightmares or being tired and cranky. If she is on medication for the ADHD then it could be that. They switched my son to a new medication and I have not had many problems with it. Some nights he has nightmare but no longer all the time. He is sometimes tired but because of him not going to sleep till late. Now, it is a lot easier since the meds were changed. Hope that helps!
