This 2025 Frontiers in Psychiatry review examines the hypothesis that ADHD can be understood as a circadian rhythm disorder, presenting evidence linking delayed sleep-wake patterns to core ADHD symptoms. The authors discuss implications for chronotherapy, suggesting that timing-based interventions such as light exposure and melatonin may offer adjunctive treatment approaches.
Background
ADHD remains one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders with limited understanding of its mechanistic underpinnings; circadian disruption has been increasingly recognized in recent years but therapeutic implications remain underexplored.
