No shit, sherlock. Certainly in this house, a sleep deprived child/baby is a hyperactive one later that day. And my bad sleeper is more hyper than my good sleeper is. Even in my own family, my ADHD brother was a crap sleeper... Chicken or egg? Who knows. Linked together? Yes. I bet if you treat the sleep problems, you probably won't need to treat the ADHD (with amphetamines, which are stimulants that keep you awake...)

I suppose the questions we need to ask are, why are so many children sleeping so badly, and what can we do about it?

Lack of sleep these days: tvs in bedrooms, too much artificial light in the evenings/nights, caffeine, E numbers, the list is a mile long...
What to do to fix it? I dont know. Move to a farmhouse in the country and put kids to work raising veg and animals? lol

Moving to the country would definitely be my ideal solution. And I don't even have kids! LOL
