Better sleep cuts ADHD attention lapses

EEG evidence shows adults with ADHD experience more brief slow‑wave (delta) episodes — 'local sleep' — while awake, and those episodes predict errors and slower reactions. Improving nighttime sleep (for example with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia) might reduce daytime local‑sleep intrusions and improve attention without changing stimulant regimes. — If validated, this reframes part of ADHD treatment and workplace support toward sleep‑quality interventions and could affect clinical guidelines, insurance coverage for sleep therapy, and accommodation practices.
