Asociación de las alteraciones del sueño con el déficit de atención e hiperactividad en pediatría

Attention deficit and hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is one of the most frequent behavioral disorders seen in the pediatric population that generates maladaptive conducts, which are in-consistent with the age and development of the child. The high coexistence between ADHD and sleep disorders, as well as the possible bidirec-tional cause between architectural alterations of sleep and the main symptoms of ADHD, have sparked a great interest as a topic of research. In order to find a better level of evidence, and to expand the future of interventions for ADHD to be able to optimize the quality of life in the long term for the patients, these new associations were revised more in depth in this document. The search was performed in Pubmed, Cochrane, and Fabumed, choosing studies on children, with less than ten years of publication, language in English or Spanish, and free access to the article. Fifty-two articles were chosen based on their quality and level of evidence.
