"Over the past two decades, US parents and teachers have reported epidemic levels of children with trouble focusing, impulsive behaviour and so much energy that they are bouncing off walls."

As a parent of four children, my view is that ADHD is the result of the amazing increase in sugar intake of children the last twenty years. Not to mention big Pharma making so much money on all those prescription ...
I have seen so many children "crash" after consuming sugar all day and sleep very fitfully, to the point that now children have prescriptions for "melatonin" I believe, for "night terrors". Again, another big Pharma money maker.

So, a definite link to a sleep disorder, sounds reasonable, but I again think that most if not all cases are from sugar intake.

As usual, a wonderful thought provoking post. Thank you.
