The reason that it helps Jaden sleep, is that a child's body will use and breakdown drugs in different ways than an adult body. So for some drugs that are used to treat insomnia in adults will actually have the opposite effect in children.

This is one of the reasons that it is important to have drugs tested in children (with supervision), instead of letting them on the market where any MD can prescribe them for anyone.

But I am really glad that it is helping Jaden, there is definitely a time and place for medication.
