Researchers argue ADHD may be a circadian rhythm disorder

Original: ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy (2025)

A 2025 paper in Frontiers in Psychiatry reviews evidence that ADHD is linked to disrupted circadian rhythms, including delayed sleep phase and melatonin abnormalities, and argues that chronotherapy—timing treatment and light exposure to the body clock—could improve care. Readers are debating the strength of the evidence and what it would mean for how ADHD is diagnosed and treated.

Why now: The paper's reframing of ADHD as a clock-related condition challenges standard views of diagnosis and treatment, drawing broad interest.
