Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood, whose symptoms may continue across the lifespan in over half of cases. This disorder entails numerous consequences for affected people in different areas of their daily life, besides its frequent concurrency with other disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder). ADHD is also associated with sleep problems, which could further impact quality of life. For this reason, diverse studies have been carried out over time to analyze the characteristics of sleep in people with ADHD, without the results of these studies having allowed us to reach decisive conclusions in this regard. This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions on sleep problems in ADHD that, going far beyond preceding studies, would shed light on the association between both conditions. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Insomnia;
- Daytime sleepiness;
- Breathing-related sleeping problems;
- Periodic limb movements;
- Narcolepsy;
- Sleep phenotypes in ADHD;
- Impact of sleep on cognitive functioning, health, and quality of life;
- Sleep medicine.
