Abstract
Objective: Children and adults with ADHD often report sleep disturbances that may form part of the etiology and/or
symptomatology of ADHD. We review the evidence for sleep changes in children with ADHD. Methods: Systematic
review with narrative synthesis assessing sleep and circadian function in children aged 5 to 13years old with a diagnosis
of ADHD. Results: 148 studies were included for review, incorporating data from 42,353 children. We found that sleep
disturbances in ADHD are common and that they may worsen behavioral outcomes; moreover, sleep interventions may
improve ADHD symptoms, and pharmacotherapy for ADHD may impact sleep. Conclusion: Sleep disturbance may
represent a clinically important feature of ADHD in children, which might be therapeutically targeted in a useful way.
There are a number of important gaps in the literature. We set out a manifesto for future research in the area of sleep,
circadian rhythms, and ADHD.
