ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy
Recent research suggests that attention‑deficit/hyperactivity disorder may be linked to disruptions in the body’s internal clock. Scientists found patterns indicating circadian misalignment in people with ADHD, which could explain sleep problems and concentration issues. The findings point to chronotherapy—timed light exposure, meal schedules, or medication—as a potential treatment strategy. Further studies are needed to confirm efficacy.
