Abstract
Despite decades-long interest in sleep in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-"restless sleep" was a symptom for diagnosing attention deficit disorder in the Third Edition of the DSM-our understanding of its role in the pathophysiology, trajectories, and functional outcomes of ADHD remains far from complete. This is perhaps no more so the case than in the developmental period of adolescence. The oft-described "perfect storm" of short and ill-timed sleep coinciding with bioregulatory maturation during adolescence1 may be further intensified for adolescents with ADHD, who often experience wide-ranging and intensifying functional impairments.2 Almost a decade ago, Lunsford-Avery and colleagues3 provided a systematic review and research roadmap to guide future research on sleep in adolescents with ADHD, casting a much-needed spotlight on this understudied topic.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
