Sleep among presentations of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Analysis of objective and subjective measures Ruiz Herrera, Noelia Guillén Riquelme, Alejandro Díaz Román, Amparo Cellini, Nicola Buela Casal, Gualberto Polysomnography ADHD Sleep Children Ex post facto study Background/Objective: To examine subjective and objective sleep patterns in children with different Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) presentations. Method: We assessed 92 children diagnosed with ADHD (29 ADHD-Inattentive [ADHD-I], 31 ADHD-Hyperactive/Impulsive [ADHD-H/I], and 32 ADHD-Combined [ADHD-C)]) aged 7-11 years. The Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ), Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS), and a sleep diary were used as subjective sleep measures, and polysomnography was used to objectively assess sleep quantity, quality, and fragmentation. Results: Subjective data showed impaired sleep in 12.7% of the sample. No significant differences were found between ADHD presentations in any objective and subjective sleep variable. Nevertheless, data on sleep fragmentation suggested a worse sleep continuity for the ADHD-H/I group, and correlation analyses confirmed that sleep is affected by age. Conclusions: Children with ADHD may suffer from sleep breathing problems and daytime sleepiness, as reported by their parents, even when their total sleep time and sleep efficiency are not affected. It seems that sleep in this population does not largely vary as a function of the ADHD presentation. Sleep in children with ADHD evolves with age. 2020-02-14T09:26:25Z 2020-02-14T09:26:25Z 2019-10-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Ruiz-Herrera, N., Guillén-Riquelme, A., Díaz-Román, A., Cellini, N., & Buela-Casal, G.
