ADHD and Sleep Disorders

Many children and adults who have ADHD also have a sleep disorder—almost three out of four children and adolescents, and up to four out of five adults with ADHD. Not getting enough sleep, or needing to sleep at times that don’t mesh with school or work obligations, can have significant long-term effects. Those can include physical illness, behavioral issues, and mood changes. While adults may seem obviously tired when they are behind on sleep, fatigue in children often looks like exaggerated ADHD symptoms: hyperactivity and impulsivity—sometimes even aggressiveness and acting out.

While previous research has linked genetic factors to the cause of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), there is yet to be conclusive evidence to identify the specific genes that can cause the neurodevelopmental disorder.

However, a new study out of Denmark is getting closer to identifying these specific genes and why ADHD can develop in some and not others.
