Daily Routines, Executive Functioning & ADHD Study
This study is looking at whether adjusting daily or nightly routines can help young people aged 11-17 with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) improve their executive functioning (skills like working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control). It also wants to see if these changes are acceptable to participants. You could be eligible if you have an ADHD diagnosis, live in the greater Tucson, AZ area, and have a guardian willing to participate. The study will compare two different approaches: one focusing on improving sleep (Sleep Extension) and another on modifying a daily routine (Daytime Routine). Success would mean improvements in sleep duration, how consistent your sleep is, and overall sleep quality.
- Study design
- This is an interventional pilot study involving up to 25 adolescents. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: night routines or daily routines.
- What's involved
- You and your parent will meet with a researcher to discuss sleep patterns or daily routines. For the sleep intervention, a sleep prescription will be created, and for the daily routine intervention, one behavioral routine will be modified for two weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Sleep duration, consistency, and quality will be measured from the beginning of the study (day 1) until the final meeting (day 28).

What this trial measures
- Sleep durationBeginning at consent meeting and lasting four weeks
Actigraphy data will be used to determine changes in sleep duration pre and post intervention. Average total sleep time during the baseline period will be compared to average total sleep time during the intervention period.
- Sleep ConsistencyBeginning at consent meeting (day 1) and ending at final meeting (day 28)
Actigraphy data will be used to determine changes in consistency of sleep periods. Average sleep periods will be compared pre and post intervention.
- Sleep QualityBegin day 1 and end day 28
The Children's Report of Sleep Patterns will be completed at baseline and post intervention to evaluate any changes in reported overall sleep quality.
