Abstract
Adult ADHD is associated with longer objective sleep latency and delayed circadian rhythmicity.
- Individuals with adult ADHD experience longer times to fall asleep, regardless of insomnia symptoms.
- Sleep maintenance issues and delayed waking times are common in adults with ADHD.
- Increased eveningness and delayed melatonin onset are linked to adult ADHD.
- Stimulant treatments may lead to a delay in circadian rhythm parameters.
- Light therapy could promote earlier sleep patterns and is associated with reduced ADHD symptoms.
