Sleep and the ADHD Brain: Why It’s Critical and How to Get More (with Drs. Nigg and Super)

Sleep problems are highly correlated with ADHD, but there remains confusion about why they overlap and the best practices to address them in children. What’s more, professionals often neglect to consider sleep problems when assessing a child or adult for ADHD, and parents too often overlook the vital role that sleep plays in healthy attention and brain development. In this hour-long ADDitude webinar, Joel Nigg, Ph.D., and Elizabeth Super, M.D., explain how to identify and address sleep problems before they exacerbate ADHD symptoms.
