Brief Summary
There has been an increased interest in the association between ADHD and sleep disorders over the past years. A high incidence of sleep disturbance, ranging from 10% to 70%, has been identified in ADHD children regardless of whether or not they are receiving stimulant therapy. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of zolpidem in children with ADHD associated insomnia.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female between the ages of 6 and 17 years, inclusive
- Children with diagnosed ADHD (as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision \[DSM-IV-TR\] criteria)
- Complaint of childhood insomnia as defined by repeated difficulty with sleep initiation or consolidation that occurs despite adequate age, appropriate time, and opportunity for sleep
