I read a study that says people with sleep disorders are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and vise versa. Not just insomnia either. Narcolepsy, Insomnia, Restless Leg Syndrome, Sleep Apnea…all of em.
Suggests they are tied together. My doctor says one can cause the other so it comes down to the chicken or the egg when diagnosing.
That tracks with the increase of ADHD symptoms I've noticed as my insomnia has gotten worse
