ADHD and Sleep Disorders

Sleep disorders are believed to be one of the most common types of coexisting conditions among adults and children with ADHD.

• going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends

• avoiding caffeine in the late afternoon and evenings

• avoiding alcohol and nicotine close to bedtime
