The Effects of Sleep Treatment on Symptoms of ADHD, Sleep Quality, Fatigue, and Depressive Symptoms in Adults
Adding sleep treatment to standard ADHD treatment did not lead to significantly greater reductions in subjective or objective, performance based ADHD symptoms. However, combined treatment showed the largest improvements in sleep quality and fatigue, suggesting that such an approach may offer additional benefits. Subjective ADHD symptoms improved in the stand-alone sleep treatment group, but to a lesser extent than the other groups. Future studies with greater statistical power are needed, with long-term effects and quality of life as important outcomes.
