NCT02732756 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 69

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) obtain less sleep than their typically developing peers. Observational studies indicate that inadequate sleep is correlated with impairment in adolescents with ADHD, but it remains unknown if sleep is causally related to impairment. This study will use an experimental sleep restriction and extension protocol to evaluate sleep as a contributor to clinically significant impairment and possible target for intervention in adolescents with ADHD.

Conditions

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Healthy Sleep Duration

This study examines healthy sleep duration as related to improved functioning in adolescents with ADHD. Adolescent participants will be instructed to go to bed at a time such that they are able to obtain 9 hours of nightly sleep (9.5 hours in bed, leaving up to ½ hour to fall asleep). Researchers will work with the adolescent and their family to problem-solve how to accomplish this sleep duration goal.

BEHAVIORAL

Shortened Sleep Duration

This study examines shortened sleep duration as related to poorer functioning in adolescents with ADHD. Adolescent participants will be instructed to go to bed at a time such that they are in bed for 6.5 hours per night. Researchers will work with the adolescent and their family to problem-solve how to accomplish this sleep duration goal.
