Description
Stephen P. Becker, Alison E. Pritchard, and Jessica R. Lunsford-Avery review behavioral sleep treatment for children and teenagers with ADHD, a group where sleep problems may reach seventy percent yet long went untreated. Their 2026 review organizes recent findings by developmental stage, from early childhood through adolescence. Sleep is framed as a twenty-four-hour dimension of a disorder usually treated as a daytime problem.
Across age bands, behavioral sleep interventions proved feasible and improved parent- and self-reported sleep in the studies surveyed. Evidence on weaving sleep strategies into standard ADHD behavioral care remains thin, and the authors map both the opportunities and the friction there. They call for treatments tailored to development and to mechanism, with new attention to circadian rhythm and sleep regularity. Digital and integrated care delivery could widen reach for families.
