Bright light therapy and ADHDCorrecting delayed circadian phase with bright light therapy predicts improvement in ADHD symptoms: A pilot study.
We explored how bright light therapy (BLT) can influence ADHD symptoms, especially in individuals with sleep-wake rhythm delays. The study involved participants undergoing standard treatments along with two weeks of morning BLT, which successfully advanced melatonin release and sleep timing.
As a result, we observed a significant reduction in ADHD symptoms, particularly in hyperactivity and impulsivity. Although the therapy did not change sleep quality significantly, it highlighted potential as a complementary approach to traditional ADHD treatments.
This study marks an encouraging step in finding effective alternatives for managing ADHD symptoms.
Transformed bedtimes

These are the first melatonin supplements we’ve used, and I wish I’d tried them years ago! My 7-year-old has ADHD and has struggled to fall asleep since birth. An average night would take 1-2 hours filled with restlessness and running around. However, with these, one gummy had her asleep within half an hour! After realising she felt drowsy the next day, we reduced her dose to half a gummy, and that seems perfect. She now falls asleep quickly (within 10-15 minutes) and wakes refreshed. It’s truly transformed our bedtimes, and she enjoys the taste of the gummies!
