Study argues 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, melatonin abnormalities and later activity patterns, and argues that chronotherapy such as timed light exposure, melatonin and scheduled sleep could complement standard treatment. Readers are debating whether sleep timing is an overlooked factor in attention disorders and how practical the proposed interventions are.

Why now: It reframes a common condition in a way that could change how ADHD is diagnosed and treated.
