This short video discusses a research paper that was recently mentioned in the mainstream media on the topic of social jetlag in children with ADHD and how it may affect their cognitive functioning. The study assessed the extent of sleeping difficulties in children with ADHD and found that at least half had some sleeping problems. It then computed the difference between the midpoint of their sleeping on school nights versus the midpoint of sleep on weekends, referring to this as social jetlag. The study found that the extent of such bedtime differences was significantly related to various measures of cognitive functioning and especially executive functioning.
