Abstract
37% of adolescents with ADHD reported clinically significant daytime sleepiness according to parent assessments.
- The prevalence of specific nighttime sleep problems in adolescents with ADHD was low, ranging from 1.5% to 7.6%.
- Daytime sleepiness was the most prevalent sleep issue identified in the study population.
- Factors such as time spent in bed, bedtime resistance, ADHD inattentive symptoms, and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo symptoms were linked to increased daytime sleepiness.
- Daytime sleepiness may significantly affect the functioning of adolescents with ADHD, though it may not be directly related to nighttime sleep issues.
