"Study Links Social Jetlag to Cognitive Challenges in ADHD-Affected Kids"

A study published in the Journal of Attention Disorders found that children with ADHD who experience greater social jetlag—variance in sleep time between school nights and weekends—show poorer cognitive performance. Unlike social jetlag, the amount of time spent in bed and general sleep disturbances did not significantly correlate with cognitive outcomes. The findings suggest that maintaining consistent sleep routines could potentially benefit the cognitive functioning of children with ADHD.
