Objectives.

Research has shown inconsistencies across studies examining sleep problems in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

It is possible that these inconsistencies are due to sleep lab adaptation.

The goal of the current study was to investigate the possibility that children with ADHD adapt differently to the sleep lab than do typically developing (TD) children.

Patients and Methods.

Actigraphy variables were compared between home and the sleep lab.

Sleep lab adaptation reports from the parent and child were compared between children with ADHD (n=25) and TD children (n=25).

Results.

Based on actigraphy, both groups had reduced sleep duration and reduced wake after sleep onset in the sleep lab compared to home.

The only interaction effect was that TD children had increased sleep efficiency in the sleep lab compared to home.

Conclusions.

The results of this study do not support the hypothesis that children with ADHD adjust to the sleep lab differently than their typically developing peers.

However, both groups of children did sleep differently in the sleep lab compared to home, and this needs to be considered when generalizing research findings from a sleep lab environment to children’s sleep in general.
