講演タイトル：
“Sleep, Neurobehavioral Functioning and ADHD in Children”
講演概要：
Insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality often lead to behaviors and symptoms associated with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in normal children. These symptoms include compromised neurobehavioral functioning (NBF), inattentiveness and restless behaviors. In children diagnosed with ADHD, sleep complains are very common and objective findings suggest that, in comparison to controls, children with ADHD are more likely to suffer from primary sleep disorders and excessive daytime sleepiness. This overlap between sleep and ADHD suggests that sleep problems or insufficient sleep may play a role as an underlying or exacerbating factor in the etiology of ADHD. The presentation will cover studies demonstrating: (a) the links between sleep and NBF in normal children; (b) the impact of experimental sleep manipulation on NBF in normal children; (c) studies on sleep patterns and sleep disorders in children with ADHD; (d) and a study on the effects of medication for ADHD on sleep.
