Indeed.

The following (informally described) symptoms are well-known consequences of ADHD:

- Delayed Sleep Phase [1]

- Staying Up Late [2]

- Revenge Bedtime Procrastination [3]

Newsflash, getting a full night's sleep helps alleviate ADHD symptoms, while being perpetually sleep-deprived wrecks us.

But there are reasons why we stay up late. Simply forcing us to sleep doesn't address those reasons.

Which is why I wrote about it so much, and keep spamming these links even though it feels so darn obvious. Not to the authors of the study, it appears.
