“…However, when excluding the study of Takahashi et al (2016), adolescents with ADHD experienced significantly more insomnia than TD adolescents. Publication bias was not assessed as a limited number of studies were included.…”

BackgroundAdolescence is characterized by an increase in the rate of sleep problems, which might be even more pronounced in adolescents with ADHD. This systematic review with meta‐analysis aimed to compare sleep in adolescents with and without ADHD, including sleep parameters, both subjectively and objectively measured, sleep problems and sleep hygiene.MethodsMedline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, ERIC, Web of Science, and PubMed databases were searched for studies with case‐control designs (published between 1980 and 2022) directly comparing sleep in adolescents (12–25 years) with ADHD to typically developing controls. Standardized mean differences were calculated and a random‐effects model was implemented using RevMan.ResultsOverall, 6974 titles/abstracts and 205 full texts were screened, resulting in 13 eligible studies. The sample sizes range from 35 to 9846 with in total 2465 adolescents with ADHD and 18,417 controls. The data suggests that adolescents with ADHD report significantly more disturbed subjective sleep parameters (e.g., total sleep time; n = 7, SMD = 0.47, p < .001) and experience more sleep problems compared to typically developing peers (e.g., daytime sleepiness; n = 5, SMD = 0.54, p = .01). Only few studies objectively measured sleep and no significant differences were found between both groups (n = 3) in any parameter. Differences in sleep hygiene could not be examined due to a limited number of studies.ConclusionsAdolescents with ADHD report significantly worsened subjectively sleep parameters and more sleep problems compared to controls. These findings are still preliminary as a limited number of studies was identified. Nevertheless, it is advised to routinely include sleep assessment in the ADHD diagnostic process. More research is needed with a focus on objective measurement and sleep hygiene in ADHD.

“…The prevalence of autism is recently increasing (Weintraub, 2011), and both ASD and ADHD are frequently found even in college students (Takahashi et al, 2016). Although the causes of autism have not been fully elucidated, both genetic and environmental factors affect pathogenesis and deterioration (Weintraub, 2011).…”

“…Both ASD and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are frequently found in college students (Takahashi et al, 2016). Students experiencing such problems, particularly those with ASD, frequently feel isolated and many have a lifetime history of suicidal behaviors (Jackson et al, 2018).…”

Mental distress is highly prevalent in university students, and autistic traits can hinder academic education. The substantial lifestyle changes experienced by new university students can induce mood and anxiety dysfunctions and subsequent suicide-related behaviors. The aims of this study were to evaluate the detectability of suicidal ideation using the Kessler Psychological Distress (K6) questionnaire, a short and easily administered measure, and to elucidate the relationship between K6 scores and developmental disorders following university admission in medical students. The mental states of 341 new students at University School of Medicine were prospectively evaluated using the short questionnaire including the K6 at admission and 6 months later. Participants were simultaneously assessed on the five core features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), four features of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and presence of suicidal ideation on this short questionnaire. K6 scores were significantly higher 6 months after admission than at admission ( p = .028). Students with suicidal ideation had significantly higher K6 scores than those without ( p < .001), and K6 scores at admission differentiated students with suicidal ideation both at admission (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.947) and 6 months after admission (AUC = 0.913). K6 scores were positively correlated with scores of ASD- and ADHD-related items (ρ = .451 and .440, respectively) and with autism-spectrum quotient scores ( p = .041, ρ = .501). In conclusion, the K6 questionnaire may be useful in efficiently detecting university students with suicidal ideation or autistic traits.

“…While research on assessment with this specific population is limited, in a study conducted by Katz et al (2009), participants self-reported higher childhood and current symptoms scores than informants. Studies that conducted among university students generally used 6 item ASRS for screening probable ADHD, and the rate of students who were classified as "probable", "highly likely" or "suspected ADHD" were 8.3% (Mortier et al, 2015), 13.4% in online version (Burlison et al, 2013) and 27.2% (Takahashi et al, 2016) respectively. Finally, both the 6-item and 18-item ASRS are feasible, reliable and cost efficient approaches to use in the assessment and monitoring of ADHD symptoms in the university population (Gray et al, 2014).…”
