TL;DR
Sleep disturbances, particularly at bedtime, are frequently reported by both parents and children with ADHD, and children undergoing evaluation for ADHD should be routinely screened for sleep disturbances, especially symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing.
Abstract
Sleep disturbances, particularly at bedtime, are frequently reported by both parents and children with ADHD. Children undergoing evaluation for ADHD should be routinely screened for sleep disturbances, especially symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing. The causes of sleep-onset delay in children with ADHD should be considered in designing intervention strategies for children with difficulty falling and staying asleep.

Children whose parents report snoring and sleep disturbance have objective evidence of sleep disruption and show more behaviour problems than controls, and parents and teachers thought those in the high risk group were more hyperactive and inattentive than the controls, but only their parents thought them more aggressive.

Children tended to identify more sleep problems by self‐report, particularly sleep‐onset delay and night wakings, than did their parents, and approximately 10% of the sample was identified by all three measures as having significant problems with daytime sleepiness.

In diagnosing children with ADHD, one must be careful not to dismiss other symptomatology as secondary, and the possibility that a child suffers from another psychiatric disorder that might respond to appropriate pharmacotherapy should be considered.

The results of this study suggest that evaluation for comorbid BSD should be done in all children presenting with symptoms of OSAS, as the coexistence of such BSDs may contribute significantly to sleep deprivation, and thus to behavioral manifestations of daytime sleepiness in these children.

87 Citations1993Emanuel Tirosh
The notion that ADHD is a centrally generated disorder attributable to hypoarousal, which subsequently stimulates motor overactivity is supported and methylphenidate does not appear to affect sleep patterns adversely and possibly normalizes them in patients with ADHD.

40 Citations1974Irwin Feinberg
Electroencephalographic sleep patterns in children with minimal brain dysfunction syndrome (MBDS or hyperkinesis) before and during stimulant treatment differed little from those of age-matched controls, suggesting that the therapeutic mechanisms of amphetamines in MBDS are unlikely to be exerted on or reflected in physiological sleep patterns.
