Stubbs, I do work with kids and you've had lots of great advice here. If its the crappy food they're getting into then either don't buy/make it or put it somewhere inaccessible to them.
It sounds like you have two issues going on. One being that they get up, and the other being they are eating what you don't want them to eat.
If it is not a financial burden, then make the food that is accessible to the kids healthy stuff. Put a veggie platter or a fruit plate in the fridge perhaps. Try putting healthy cereals down low, or crackers that you don't mind them eating. Keep everything that they SHOULDN'T have up high or put child locks on the cupboards. Limit how much you put down on the lower shelves to smaller amounts. Refill the shelves when its necessary, but don't be in a huge rush to do it.
I don't know how easy it is for you to access a dietician, but a nutritionist or dietician has training and knowledge about how best to address overeating issues.
Also, you have mentioned your child is ADHD, is he/she on any medication? If NOT then don't be surprised by how much food he needs. ADHD is like having your cars motor running really fast all the time, it requires more fuel than an engine idling normally. If your child is on medication, do not be surprised if their appetite diminishes or disappears altogether. Every medication is different.
I'm not a big help on the sleep issue. Retraining kids to a different sleep schedule is a lot of work and I've never done it. Sorry about that!
