Clonidine is sometimes used for that purpose, particularly with ADHD. Here's a reference:

I was on Clonidine as a child from the time I was first diagnosed ADHD at age 6. I was on Ritalin during the day and because it is a stimulant it caused insomnia which then Clonidine was added. I did much better in school after I had a full night sleep. I wonder if Ritalin was even necessary since improvement wasn't even noticeable until the Clonidine was added. I think if lack of sleep is disrupting the child's life (i.e. behavior and/or school) then Clonidine should be an option.
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Clonidine and clonidine HCl are technically the same thing. Clonidine is the active ingredient, while clonidine HCl refers to the specific salt form of the medication. So, yes, they're essentially two peas in a pod.
Yes, Catapres and clonidine refer to the same medication. Catapres is the brand name for clonidine, which is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist primarily used to treat high blood pressure and ADHD. Both terms can be used interchangeably, but "clonidine" is the generic name for the drug.
Clonidine is not an ACE inhibitor. It is used for lowering blood pressure and has other uses as well.

Clonidine is a antihypertensive medication used to treat blood pressure.
It's prescribed antihypertensive agent, treatment of neuropathic pain, opioid detoxification, sleep hyperhidrosis, anesthetics use, and off-label, to counter the side effects of stimulant medications such as methylphenidate or amphetamine. It is becoming a more accepted treatment for insomnia, as well as for relief of menopausal symptoms. Clonidine is increasingly used in conjunction with stimulants to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), for which it is administered in late afternoon or evening for sleep, and because it sometimes helps moderate ADHD-associated impulsive and oppositional behavior, and may reduce tics. Clonidine can be used in the treatment of Tourette syndrome. Clonidine is also a mild sedative, and can be used as premedication before surgery or procedures.
Yes. The brand name is Catapress.
