Sleep Disturbances Linked to ADHD in Preschoolers with Language Delays
Research suggests that young children with both developmental language disorder (DLD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often face more sleep issues than those with DLD alone, such as shorter nights and trouble settling down. It seems likely that these sleep problems tie into broader challenges like behavior and focus, but they're not direct predictors of ADHD. Evidence leans toward early checks for sleep as part of helping these kids, though more studies are needed to understand why this happens.
