"It works well with sleep since I have had insomnia for over 10 years. I tried Ambien, but I like clonidine better, although some nights I wake up 4-5 hours later to have to take another dose."

"This medication only puts me to sleep. I only sleep for 3 hours, and I’m up for the rest of the night. Taking it for insomnia. Trying to find something that will keep me asleep for at least 7 hours."

Clonidine "My daughter takes it to help sleep. She's 7 years old. Take Concerta for ADHD. She's been on 2 mg Clonidine for 2 years. She complained her stomach hurts. Is it the ADHD meds or the Clonidine?"
