Abstract

Study Objectives: The current study aimed to examine the association of insomnia symptoms with daytime behavior and cognitive functioning in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Methods: Thirty-six children with ADHD and insomnia symptoms, 27 children with ADHD without insomnia symptoms, and 21 age-matched healthy controls were recruited in this study (age range: 6-12 years, 70% male). They were assessed by parent-report questionnaires on insomnia symptoms (Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire) and ADHD symptoms (Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behavior Scale [SWAN]), and completed a battery of cognitive tests including the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) for sustained attention, Letter-digit test for processing speed, Digit Span forward test and N-back task for working memory, Tower of London (TOL) test for planning skills and Bergs Card Sorting Test (BCST) for set-shifting ability.

Results: Children with ADHD and insomnia symptoms had the highest scores on SWAN total and inattention and hyperactivity subscales, followed by children with ADHD without insomnia and healthy controls (all P <.05). After controlling for potential confounders, children with ADHD and insomnia symptoms showed poorer performance on the CPTand Letter-digit test as compared with children with ADHD without insomnia and healthy controls (all P <.05).

Conclusions: Insomnia symptoms are associated with more severe ADHD symptoms and cognitive impairments in children with ADHD, especially deficits in sustained attention and processing speed. Future longitudinal studies are needed to explore the long-term impacts of insomnia symptoms and the effects of sleep-focused intervention on cognitive functioning in children with ADHD.
