Amaç: Sleep problems are frequently reported in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental
disorders in clinical practice. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental
disorder in which sleep disorders are also common. These sleep problems are usually behavioural and
include difficulties with both initiating (for example, sleep onset association disorder) and maintaining sleep.
ADHD medications particularly stimulants may also result in sleep problems, such as difficulty initiating
sleep. In clinical practice, children’s self-reports may differ from parents’ perceived child sleep quality. In
the present study, we compared the self-reports of children with parents’ report regarding with sleep quality
and types of ADHD medication. We restricted the group to boys to make a homogenous group
Yöntem: We recruited 30 children and adolescent with ADHD and their parents who followed up in our
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry outpatient unit. We excluded the patients who also use antipsychotics
and antidepressants that may affect the sleep scores as confounding factors. We noted type and dose of
ADHD medication(stimulant, atomoxetine), age, and weight of children. Children fulfilled DSM-5 Level 2
Sleep Disorders Scale-Child Form and parents also fulfilled DSM-5 Level 2 Sleep Disorders Scale-Parents
Form.
Bulgular: The sleep disorders scale-children form score is 18,80 ± 6,40(mean ± SD). The sleep disorder
scale-parents form score is 17,56 ± 3,69. There were no significant differences between the parent and
children scales’ scores (p=0.354). There were also no significant differences in sleep scores in terms of
types of ADHD medication (the probable reason is small sample size).
Sonuç: ADHD is commonly associated with impaired sleep. In future studies, in addition to subjective
assesment, also objective measures are necessary for comparing parent report and child report of sleep
parameters
