ADHD and sleep problems (from the “In It” podcast)

Bonus episode! Learn about ADHD and sleep from our friends at Understood’s In It podcast. Hosts Amanda Morin and Gretchen Vierstra first hear from a mom whose son has ADHD, autism, and sleep challenges. Then they speak with clinical psychologist Dr. Roberto Olivardia about the connection between ADHD and sleep — including why people with ADHD may have sleep problems. Get a transcript of this show and check out more “In It” episodes at u.org/init. We love hearing from our listeners.
