Abstract
Amphetamine-type stimulants are widely prescribed for treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) but may influence sleep and circadian regulation.
- Young adults with ADHD may experience delayed circadian rhythms, leading to increased vulnerability to sleep disturbances.
- Academic and social pressures, along with nighttime light exposure, can exacerbate circadian misalignment in college students.
- The use of amphetamine-type stimulants is associated with potential effects on sleep quality and circadian regulation.
- Understanding the interaction between stimulant medications and the circadian system could help improve treatment strategies for ADHD.
