“…For example, Moreau et al (2014) found that youth with comorbid ADHD and anxiety had the longest sleep onset delay, shortest sleep duration, and greatest daytime sleepiness in comparison to typically developing youth or youth with ADHD alone. In addition, Sung et al (2008) found comorbid conduct problems to be a strong predictor of sleep problems in youth with ADHD. Interestingly, Lycett et al (2014) recently found that it was not the presence of either an internalizing or externalizing comorbidity but rather the presence of both an internalizing and externalizing comorbidity that was associated with increased sleep problems among children with ADHD.…”

“…Taken together, studies examining sleep and comorbidity in ADHD samples point to potential bidirectional associations. However, all of these studies were conducted in school-aged children/young adolescents Hansen et al 2011Hansen et al , 2014Lycett et al 2014a, b;Moreau et al 2014) or in samples with a wide age range (ages 5/6-18) (Accardo et al 2012;Sung et al 2008), leaving it unclear how sleep and mental health are interconnected in youth with ADHD during middle and older adolescence when rates of certain mental health problems such as conduct disorder (Merikangas et al 2010), substance use , and depression/ suicidal ideation (Hinshaw et al 2012) are higher. Further, aside from the recent 1-year longitudinal studies by Becker et al (2014) and Lycett et al (2014a), all of the studies completed to date have been cross-sectional, leaving it unclear if comorbidities predict increases in sleep problems (and vice versa) over longer developmental periods or whether comorbid mental health symptoms differentially impact the sleep of adolescents with and without ADHD.…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.

“…Children with ADHD have more sleep problems compared with their peers [3]. Their parents report sleep problems in 25-55% [4] and the prevalence of sleep problems, such as falling asleep and maintaining sleep, can vary between 55% and 74% [5][6][7]. The primary sleep disorder symptoms are resistance against sleep, an increase in the amount waking at night, and sleepiness during the day [8,9].…”

“…The most frequently reported symptoms of children and the parents are resistance against sleeping and sleeponset insomnia [8]. The increase in sleep disorders in these children is associated with the increase in ADHD symptoms [10] and weakening in functionality of the child and the family [7]. However, sleep problems may develop without any biologic symptoms, the reason may be due to the high numbers of undiagnosed sleep problems in children with ADHD compared with healthy children [11].…”

OBJECTIVE: Although sleep symptoms are not included in the diagnostic criteria of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), these problems are common in children with ADHD. The presence of sleep problems was associated with impairment in functionality and increase in ADHD intensity. The aims of the study were to evaluate sleep problems of children with ADHD who had never received any psychiatric treatment and investigate the effects of these problems in functionality. METHODS: The present study included 83 children who were diagnosed as having ADHD and had never received any psychiatric treatment. The control group consisted of 106 healthy children. Psychiatric diagnostic interview was applied to all children. The parents completed the Conner's Parent Questionnaire to evaluate the intensity of ADHD in the children, the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) to evaluate sleep problems, and the Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale to evaluate the functionality of the children. RESULTS: The total scores of subscale and scales of CSHQ were significantly higher in the study group. ADHD children slept 1 hour later and sleep quantity was 1.5 hours less than the control group. There was a significant correlation between sleep problems, ADHD severity, and functionality of these children. CONCLUSIONS:The results demonstrated that children with ADHD experienced more sleep problems and slept less than the children in the healthy control group, and functional impairments increased due to these problems. Another important finding is that sleep problems are not related to drug use. Maintaining sleep hygiene or interventions against sleep problems may increase sleep quality and may improve self and family functionality. Therefore, the standardized sleep evaluation must be performed in cooperation with parents in all children with ADHD. ARTICLE HISTORY

Objective To identify the difficulties of families with children and/or adolescents with mental disorder. Method This is an integrative review. In December 2013, an electronic search was performed on Latin American Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences databases (LILACS) and on Electronic Medicus Index of the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE) indexed in the Health Virtual Library (BVS) using a combination of descriptors and boolean operators as follows: mental disorders and child or adolescent and caregivers and/not health staff. Results 557 studies were identified, of which 15 were selected for this study. The findings indicated difficulties related to the care for or to interaction with children/adolescents with mental disorder. Conclusion The studies revealed difficulties related to everyday practices of care and feelings expressed during care practices, as well as in relationships with children or adolescents with mental disorder.

Sleep Problems in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Abstract: Sleep problems in children with ADHD are common and associated with poorer child, caregiver, and family outcomes. Future research needs to determine whether management of sleep problems can reduce adverse outcomes.
