Clonidine Dosage for Child with Sleep Insomnia

Sensory overload medication? Clonidine? Help? (Long version of question) I have just put up with my overload for a really long time, but I’m so tired of it. I’m usually very “no medicine I can handle this my self”, won’t even take an Advil till I can’t move kinda person, but I’m so done with it. My biggest issue is prolonged overload that even when I actually take the time to regulate it won’t fully reset me. I self regulate pretty well and I know my sensory issues are only mildly debilitating, so in the grand skeme of things they aren’t too bad. I could just do this forever (mildly distressed) if I had to. I know there isn’t any approved medications for sensory sensitivities, but I do find a certain adult beverage can help take the edge off. I would like a more sustainable solution since I will not be just consuming adult beverages when in overload. It does however lead me to believe there is a medication, probably a sedative/depressant that would help. I have heard people colloquially talk about taking clondine when in overload, however it was mostly parents talking about there kids. Is this an example of parents drugging kids to make them “manageable” or is there any truth to it?
