Does adult adhd affect quality or quantity of sleep? i can't seem to fall asleep or stay asleep most nights.

See your doctor : Medications used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder can cause insomnia. You need an evaluation for a co-occurring mood disorder such as Bipolar Disorder or Depression. Avoid the use of caffeine late in the day. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and your need for treatment of your insomnia.
