Both ADD and ADHD are known disruptor’s of sleep architecture. Inattentive ADD is evidenced by under activity in a someone’s central nervous system (CNS). A person with inattentive ADD will always feel fatigued and unrested. They will also have poor organizational skills and will seem aloof or spaced-out most of the time. Their nighttime sleep never seems like enough and daytime naps are always needed. ADHD, or hyperactive ADD is the CNS’s equivalent of the exact opposite. This overactive person will have great difficulty sitting still, will toss and turn during the night and will need caffeine to try to calm down in an attempt to stabilize (self medicate) their own CNS. Sleep for the ADHD person is usually very light and rarely restful.
