ADHD and Sleep

Sleep problems and ADHD are intertwined. Through research and experience, we know that ADHD may lead to difficulty falling and staying asleep, and to lower sleep quality and quantity in the short and long term. We also know that poor sleep may exacerbate symptoms of ADHD and related conditions, and impact treatment adherence.

In this survey, we'd like to hear from caregivers and adults with ADHD about your experiences with ADHD and sleep.

Please note that no personal or individual data from this survey will ever be reported. ADDitude never shares any information about its subscribers, e-newsletter recipients, or survey respondents. (Read our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.)
