Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with alterations in circadian processes, including later chronotype and delayed sleep phase.
- ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
- High levels of sleep disturbance are frequently observed in individuals with ADHD.
- The relationship between sleep disturbances and ADHD symptoms is not yet clearly defined.
- Possible mechanisms linking ADHD and sleep disturbances involve circadian rhythm modulation.
- Chronotherapy may represent a potential therapeutic intervention for ADHD.
