Can ADHD affect sleep?

ADHD can significantly impact sleep quality and patterns. People with ADHD may take longer to fall asleep, wake frequently, or experience restless sleep. This is due to both neurological differences and behaviours linked to poor routine or overstimulation. Poor sleep can in turn worsen attention, memory, and mood, creating a cycle of difficulty. Managing ADHD with behavioural strategies or medication may help improve sleep over time.
