The study highlights the importance of treating insomnia to improve quality of life for those with ADHD traits, recommending behavior-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).

In fact, insomnia affects between 43% and 83% of adults with ADHD, regardless of whether they are on medication for ADHD.

Further research is needed to better understand how sleep issues like insomnia influence perceptions of life quality among adults with ADHD traits.

Dr. Sarah L. Chellappa emphasizes that sleep disruption can impair cognitive functions like attention and emotional regulation, which may be worsened by ADHD traits.

Sleep disorders are common among individuals with ADHD, with at least 25% reporting issues, and insomnia being the most prevalent.

Recent research from the University of Southampton and the Netherlands Institute of Neuroscience reveals a significant link between insomnia and lower life satisfaction in adults exhibiting ADHD traits.
