Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows sleep intervention improves health factors in children with ADHD and sleep problems, suggesting intervention benefits.

Key Points

  • Children with ADHD without sleep problems reported less insomnia and anxiety after the sleep intervention.
  • 42 of the 83 children had clinically relevant sleep problems, with notable differences in reported health factors.
  • The study utilized assessments like the Insomnia Severity Index and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to measure outcomes.
  • Longitudinal research is needed to understand the ongoing effects of sleep problems on health in children with ADHD.
