Abstract
Background
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder. Although data show ADHD is associated with sleep problems, approaches to analyze the association between ADHD and sleep electrophysiology are limited to a few methods with circumscribed foci.
Aims
Sleep EEG was analyzed by a mixed-radix FFT routine and power spectrum parametrization in adolescents with ADHD and adolescents not at-risk for ADHD. Spectral components of sleep EEG were analyzed employing a novel, model-based approach of EEG power spectra.
Methods and procedures
The DREEM mobile polysomnography headband was used to record home sleep EEG from 19 medication-free adolescents with ADHD and 29 adolescents not at-risk for ADHD (overall: N = 56, age range 14–19 years) and groups were compared on characteristics of NREM sleep.
Outcomes and results
Adolescents with ADHD exhibited lower frequency of spectral peaks indicating sleep spindle oscillations whereas adolescents not at-risk for ADHD showed lower spectral power in the slow sleep spindle and beta frequency ranges.
Conclusions and implications
The observed between-groups difference might indicate delayed brain maturity unraveled during sleep in ADHD.
期刊介绍:
Research In Developmental Disabilities is aimed at publishing original research of an interdisciplinary nature that has a direct bearing on the remediation of problems associated with developmental disabilities. Manuscripts will be solicited throughout the world. Articles will be primarily empirical studies, although an occasional position paper or review will be accepted. The aim of the journal will be to publish articles on all aspects of research with the developmentally disabled, with any methodologically sound approach being acceptable.
