"The sleepiness with clonidine can often be helpful in treating bedtime wakefulness or sleep disturbances in children with ADHD (Wilens et al. 1994; Prince et al. 1996)."
"Guanfacine can also be substituted for clonidine when the child wakes up at 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. after a bedtime dose of clonidine. The longer half-life of guanfacine facilitates a full night of sleep."

I don't know whether guanfacine is useful for insomnia. But about clonidine.....
Strangely, although clonidine is often quite sedating, sleep disturbances have been commonly reported as a side effect.
