Summary
This paper discusses the role of the circadian system in the etiology and pathophysiology of ADHD, suggesting that a significant portion of ADHD symptoms may be the result of chronic sleep disorders, particularly delayed circadian rhythm.
Categories
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): The paper focuses on the relationship between ADHD and sleep disorders, particularly delayed circadian rhythm, and suggests that a significant portion of ADHD symptoms may be the result of chronic sleep disorders.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the prevalence of various sleep disorders and sleep problems in individuals with ADHD, including delayed sleepâwake disorder, insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, increased nocturnal motor activity, restless legs, and parasomnias.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of sleep disturbances on cognitive functioning, including attention and working memory, and suggests that these cognitive deficits may be a significant part of ADHD symptoms.
Education and learning: The paper discusses the impact of sleep disturbances on school performance in children and adolescents, suggesting that sleep problems may contribute to the academic difficulties often experienced by individuals with ADHD.
