Leslie Amodeo, associate professor of psychology at Cal State San Bernardino, has received a $732,484 grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the relationship between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, stimulant medication, and sleep.
Children with ADHD often have difficulty sleeping, a problem most often addressed with stimulant medication, according to a statement on the university’s website.
Amodeo will use the four-year grant to help determine whether this treatment helps or hinders sleep disturbances, and the development of sleep-related disorders later in life.
“Findings from this study may contribute to better treatment protocols and more comprehensive management strategies for children with ADHD,” the statement reads.
