Abstract
Sleep disorders are common in patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), affecting both children and adults.
- Sleep-related issues include insomnia, daytime sleepiness, and specific conditions like sleep-disordered breathing and restless legs syndrome.
- These sleep disturbances significantly impact cognition, emotional regulation, and overall quality of life.
- There is a bidirectional relationship between sleep disorders and ADHD, where poor sleep can worsen ADHD symptoms and vice versa.
- Understanding the timing and nature of sleep disorders across different developmental stages is crucial for effective management.
- Management strategies may involve both medication and behavioral interventions.
