Tóm tắt

Inappropriate sleep habits and behaviors are very common in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), often related to sleep disorders. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 277 children aged 6 to 12 years old, at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital from October 2022 to September 2023; we analyze the characteristics of inappropriate sleep-related habits and behaviors in those children who were diagnosed with ADHD. The results indicated that common sleep-related habits and behaviors in children with ADHD included bedtime resistance, difficulty initiating sleep (pre-sleep), difficulty maintaining sleep (during-sleep), and tiredness when waking up (post-sleep). Loud snore , enuresis, and tiredness when waking up in the morning are common in the inattentive subtype, while bedtime resistance, difficulty initiating sleep, and screen exposure time of more than 2 hours are common in the combined subtype. Inappropriate sleeping habits and behaviors are significantly more common in ADHD comorbidities.
