Abstract
Children with ADHD showed statistically and clinically significant changes in sleep time and onset latency when treated with immediate release Ritalin.
- Ritalin, administered three times a day, effectively reduced ADHD symptoms.
- Total sleep time increased in children receiving medication compared to those not on medication.
- Sleep onset latency, or the time taken to fall asleep, decreased in the medication group.
- No significant changes in sleep quality were reported based on sleep questionnaires.
