The optimal system of care for the management of delayed sleep onset in adult ADHD in the UK: a modified Delphi consensus
Based on the agreement levels achieved, the steering group developed a series of recommendations for the management of delayed sleep onset in adult ADHD in the UK. Given the prevalence of sleep disorders in this population, a comprehensive management approach is essential. This should include effective treatments, such as melatonin, which could be initiated in primary care and monitored by general practitioners for newly diagnosed patients. It is also important that treatment for delayed sleep onset is continued as individuals transition from childhood into adulthood.
