ADHD is divided into three subtypes: predominantly inattentive (ADHD-PI or ADHD-I), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive (ADHD-PH or ADHD-HI), and combined type (ADHD-C).

MY WORK -

A study on executive functioning in different subtypes of ADHD patients showed significant difference in characteristics. (Saydam, 2015) The ADHD-Inattentive groups expressed more difficulties in focusing all their attention on tasks, while the ADHD-Combined groups showed significant struggles in their ability to plan things such as their day, future events, etc. (Saydam, 2015).

''This is a nice start to your research on this topic, but how do you plan to integrate this into the existing article? I suggest that you copy and past pieces of the "live" wikipedia article into your sandbox for editing (you might place edits in italics, or underline to maker peer review easier). (Liz)''

Sleep disorders and ADHD commonly co-exist. They can also occur as a side effect of medications used to treat ADHD. In children with ADHD, insomnia is the most common sleep disorder with behavioral therapy being the treatment. Problems with sleep initiation are common among individuals with ADHD but often they will be deep sleepers and have significant difficulty getting up in the morning. Melatonin is sometimes used in children who have sleep onset insomnia.

MY WORK -

A study showed sleep disorders like restless leg syndrome and many sleep-disordered breathing, such as apnea or hypopnea, are diagnosed at a higher rate in children with diagnosis of ADHD than in the control children (Yoon, 2015).
