The study analyzed 130 adults, 68 with ADHD and 62 with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) but without ADHD, undergoing Multiple Sleep Latency Testing.

2
Subjective sleepiness, measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, showed no significant difference between the ADHD group (median score 14.0) and the EDS-only group (median score 13.0).
-
3
Objective sleep propensity differed significantly, with the ADHD group having a longer median mean sleep latency of 432.0 seconds compared to 322.0 seconds in the EDS-only group.
-
4
MSLT positivity was less frequent in the ADHD group at 61.8% compared to 87.1% in the EDS-only group, indicating a lower objective sleep propensity.
-
5
Within the ADHD group, ESS scores were not significantly correlated with mean sleep latency, contrasting with a significant inverse correlation in the MSLT-positive EDS-only subgroup.
