I confirm, AuDHD kid sleeps very little. I did 6 days 3-4h sleep and lazy sleepoff on Sunday 10-11h, since I was 10y.o. So, forcing your boy to go to sleep too early will only aggravate and estrange him more and more. I had to turn lights off and pretend I'm asleep so when everyone else have fallen asleep I could start reading a book with a flashlight under duvet. So if he decides at some point that there is no way to make you understand he will start hiding things from you, and find his own way
