A recent study has revealed that 60% of adults with ADHD experience some form of sleep disorder. Among these, 36% have difficulties falling asleep, while 31% suffer from other sleep-related issues. This highlights a significant but often overlooked aspect of ADHD’s impact on daily life.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The study sheds light on a critical but frequently underestimated issue affecting adults with ADHD. The high prevalence of sleep disorders among this group calls for better integration of sleep management in ADHD treatment plans. In today’s fast-paced world, where digital engagement is at its peak, addressing the intersection of sleep hygiene and technology use is paramount. Developing applications that monitor and improve sleep quality could be particularly beneficial. Such tools might include sleep tracking functionalities, personalized sleep improvement tips, and notifications to encourage healthy sleep habits, helping mitigate the compounded effects of ADHD and sleep disorders.
