I've been reading up about adhd-pi lately, and a few times I ran across claims and studies that suggest that sleep disorders frequently coincide with adhd and adhd-pi. Not only does this impeded sleep excaserbate the adhd, but it can cause a lot of the symptoms in and of itself. They actually found that it took kids with adhd longer to secrete melatonin in the brain, explaining the greater length of time it takes for people with adhd to fall asleep.
Does anyone here have adhd or adhd-pi and struggle with getting sufficient sleep? I know I rarely get enough sleep, take a while to fall asleep, and wake up throughout the night sometimes. These studies describe my saga well, how about yours?
