Better sleep in psychiatric care; A pilot study of a behavioral treatment for insomnia in ADHD

Introduction: Patients with ADD/ADHD often experience significant sleep problems. One of the most common problems is sleep onset insomnia, often combined with delayed sleep phase disorder. Previous studies have evaluated the use of melatonin and other pharmacological treatments for this patient group. However, although cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is considered treatment of choice for insomnia, evaluations of the use of this behavioral intervention for insomnia patients with ADD/ADHD are lacking.
