Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder observed in children and adolescents, the manifestations of which affect personal, social and academic performance. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between sleep disorders and ADHD symptoms, highlighting the importance of investigating the bidirectional relationship between these two conditions for the management of patients with this neurodevelopmental disorder and its comorbidities. This narrative review synthesizes the current literature to elucidate the interaction between sleep and ADHD, exploring the bidirectional communication between sleep and the comorbid symptoms of ADHD. In addition, it discussed how independent drug therapy can lead to sleep problems, showing how interaction with non-drug therapy is essential for the treatment of ADHD and sleep disorders, improving patient prognosis. Some recent research has revealed a possible link between ADHD and sleep disorders, and how they have a bidirectional relationship with each other, potentially affecting the quality of life and mental health of the individual with these disorders. As we delve deeper into the bidirectional relationship between the disorders, this review provides a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and possible implications for the diagnosis, treatment and approach of ADHD when associated with sleep disorders. Addressing the comorbid conditions of ADHD, such as sleep disorders, is fundamental as a coping strategy for the treatment of this neurodevelopmental condition, which involves both non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions.
