Does sleep help your adhd?

Abdolutely: In fact, a steady sleeping regimen should be part of your treatment plan and it will help with both concentration and any mood liability you may have as well. Work on sleep hygiene for best results as well.

Yes: An adequate amount of sleep is important for focusing, concentration and school performance, in combination with an appropriate diet, especially breakfast. Inadequate amount of sleep can interfere with focus and attention and may mimic symptoms of ADHD. Recommended amount of sleep for children and adolescents is 9-10 hours per night. Few adolescents get near that much.
