Stimulant Medications and Sleep for Youth With ADHD: A Meta-analysis

Abstract: CONTEXT: Mixed findings exist on whether stimulant medications alter youth sleep. OBJECTIVE:To determine the effect of stimulant medications on sleep.DATA STUDIES: Studies published through March 2015 were collected via CINAHL, PsycINFO, and PubMed. References of retrieved articles were reviewed.STUDY SELECTION: Eligibility criteria included studies with children/adolescents who had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), random assignment to stimulants, and objective sleep measurement. Studies that d… Show more

“…This type of information is needed before intervention development can begin. It is also important to note that while stimulant medication may exacerbate some sleep difficulties (e.g., sleep onset latency) in youth with ADHD (Kidwell, Van Dyk, Lundahl, & Nelson, 2015), the high prevalence of sleep problems in youth with ADHD cannot be wholly-or even primarily-attributed to stimulant medication use. Indeed, the Cortese and colleagues (2009) metaanalysis documenting more sleep problems in youth with ADHD compared to youth without ADHD excluded studies that had pharmacologically treated participants.…”

“…Against this background it is not surprising that a drug that is effective in treating ADHD in one child may be ineffective in another; similarly, it would not be surprising if a drug that was effective in treating sleep in one child with ADHD was ineffective in another. In particular, there is a subgroup of children with ADHD in whom sleep onset is improved with an evening dose of methylphenidate whereas, in most children, an evening dose of methylphenidate would delay sleep onset 68 .…”

“…C hildren, adolescents , and adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently present with a variety of sleep-related difficulties before receiving ADHD medications (Stein et al 2012; Kidwell et al 2015). The impact of ADHD medications on sleep has been debated, with some studies showing deleterious effects on sleep, some studies showing minimal effects on sleep, and other studies showing improvement in sleep parameters after treatment with ADHD medications (Kidwell et al 2015).…”

“…The impact of ADHD medications on sleep has been debated, with some studies showing deleterious effects on sleep, some studies showing minimal effects on sleep, and other studies showing improvement in sleep parameters after treatment with ADHD medications (Kidwell et al 2015). The potential for different ADHD medications with varying pharmacokinetic profiles to have different impacts on sleep parameters also has been a topic of research and clinical discussion.…”
