(2014).This recent review provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between ADHD and sleep using subjective and objective sleep measures, and proposes a model. There are also guidelines on how to manage sleep problems in patients with ADHD.

The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that ADHD symptoms are related to SDB and improve after adenotonsillectomy. Patients with ADHD symptomatology should receive SDB screening. Treatment of comorbid SDB should be considered before medicating the ADHD symptoms if present.
