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.

Melatonin improves ADHD symptoms temporarily
We investigated how melatonin influences symptoms of ADHD in adults with delayed sleep phase syndrome. In a randomized trial with 51 participants, we provided either melatonin, bright light therapy, or a placebo for three weeks.

At the end of the treatment, we found that melatonin significantly advanced participants' circadian rhythms and reduced ADHD symptoms by 14%. Unfortunately, these benefits were temporary, as both symptoms and sleep patterns reverted to baseline two weeks after stopping treatment.

Overall, melatonin could be a valuable tool for adults struggling with ADHD linked to sleep issues.

Melatonin may help ADHD sleep issues
We explored the connection between ADHD and sleep disturbances, focusing on the role of melatonin. Our systematic review analyzed 62 studies involving over 4,400 individuals with ADHD.

We observed that people with ADHD often experience a shift in their circadian rhythms, leaning towards later sleep and wake times. This misalignment possibly contributes to their sleep troubles.

While our findings suggest that melatonin could help address these sleep issues linked to ADHD, it's important to note that more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness and explore other potential therapies.

These melatonin tablets have been effective every night for over 2 years. I take them due to sleep issues caused by Autism and ADHD. A single tablet suffices. I highly recommend them; they work well. Taken at bedtime, I experience no foggy mind upon waking or during the day. These tablets fulfil their purpose without any problems, even after long-term use. The dosage on the bottle is appropriate, and the small size of the tablets makes them easy to swallow. The ingredients do not cause stomach issues or an aftertaste. This is a quality product with excellent benefits for sleep.

Restorative sleep
I've suffered from sleep issues for a decade due to adult ADHD and hormone issues. After trying numerous solutions, this product helps me sleep soundly, and I wake up feeling refreshed. I won't return to over-the-counter sleep aids again.

Easier bedtime routine

My husband has ADHD, which disrupts his circadian rhythm. We often struggle with getting him to sleep, leading to late nights. Since starting melatonin, he finds it much easier to go to bed. I suggest we take a pill and relax in bed, and usually, he falls asleep mid-sentence. I've also tried it with mixed results; while it works, it's essential to maintain good sleep hygiene, as melatonin should mainly assist in falling asleep rather than ensuring sleep quality.

We explored the long-term safety and efficacy of a pediatric melatonin treatment aimed at improving sleep for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including those with ADHD. In this study, kids on melatonin slept significantly longer and fell asleep faster than those who received a placebo.

Following a year of treatment, 76% of participants showed improved sleep patterns, along with overall better well-being for caregivers. While fatigue and mood swings were noted as side effects, the treatment proved to be mostly safe and beneficial.

This reinforces the role of melatonin in helping manage sleep issues related to ADHD and related disorders.

We evaluated how prolonged-release melatonin minitablets (PedPRM) help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with or without ADHD, who struggle with sleep. Over 13 weeks, 125 participants were given either PedPRM or a placebo in a double-blind trial.

We found that those taking PedPRM enjoyed longer sleep—averaging 57.5 minutes more per night—compared to just 9.14 minutes for the placebo group. Additionally, sleep latency, or the time taken to fall asleep, improved significantly. While PedPRM was generally safe, some users experienced increased drowsiness.

We examined the potential of melatonin to help manage sleep issues in ADHD and other psychiatric disorders. Although melatonin shows promise in improving sleep quality, sleep onset time, and efficiency, especially in ADHD, well-structured trials remain scarce.

The research suggests that melatonin might be beneficial for correcting sleep and circadian patterns disturbed by ADHD. However, it’s important to note that more studies are needed to solidify these findings and identify optimal dosages and timing for administration.
