Difficulty falling: Asleep is often associated w/anxiety while waking up early w/depression.. Please see you doc who may order a sleep study. A psychologist can help w/stress management. Try not to nap in daytime or limit it to a cat nap of 15 minutes. No computer or screens 1 hr. Prior to sleep. Yes sleep deprivation can may ADHD worse but is not cause. Peace & good health.
