Abstract

Objective: To describe sleep characteristics in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Methods: A survey research on 107 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder from 6 to 12 years old, at Psychiatric clinic - National Children's Hospital and caregivers, using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Results: 83.2% of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder had sleep problems. Common sleep problems were difficulty falling asleep, resistance to bedtime, and snoring, with prevalence rates of 49.5%, 43.0%, and 21.8%, respectively. Some inappropriate sleeping habits were found, including not having the habit of going to bed on time (52.3%), not taking a nap (21.5%), drinking milk within 1 hour before going to sleep (52.3%) and watching phone/tv/ipad right before sleeping (60.7%). Conclusion: Sleep problems are common in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This suggests that assessment and management of sleep problems is an essential part of the evaluation and treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
