Purpose: Results from both subjective andobjective studies have reported that childrenwith Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) had higher sleep-related problems than
controls. The aim of the study is to assess the
relationship between sleep problems and ADHD
subtypes and ADHD comorbidities. Method:
Subjects were 73 ADHD patients and 41 healthy
controls mean age of 8,9 ± 2,8 (SD) who diagnosed
with Kiddie –SADS-Present and Lifetime
version (KSADS-PL), a semi-structured clinical
schedule. Parents completed Pediatric Sleep
Questionnaire (PSQ) to assess sleep-related
problems. Findings: Subjects with ADHD had
higher PSQ Behavior, Sleepiness and Other
Problems scores when compared with control
subjects. ADHD subjects also had higher
Breathing score, which showed a statistical
trend to significance (p=0.08). PSQ Sleepiness,
Breathing and Other problems scores were not
different between subjects with combined type
or inattnetive types of ADHD. Comorbidity did
not significantly effect PSQ scores. Results:
The results are compatible with the previous literature
and showed that ADHd cases have significantly
higher sleep-related problems, but
there is no significant relationship between
ADHD comorbidities and level of sleep problems.
