Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast series by Attitude Magazine.

Hello, my name is Annie Rogers and on behalf of the attitude team, I'd like to welcome

everyone to today's ADHD Experts webinar on the topic of sleep, one of the most prevalent

and perhaps underappreciated problems associated with ADHD. In fact, roughly 70% of children

and adolescents with ADHD report problems with sleep, whether that's bedtime resistance,

falling asleep, staying asleep, all of the above, and all of those, of course, impact daily

functioning poor and inadequate sleep can exacerbate inattention, emotional dysregulation,

overall quality of life and more. Here to explain the connection between ADHD and sleep

and to offer cognitive and behavioral strategies to address these problems is Stephen Becker,

PhD. Dr. Becker is an associate professor of pediatrics in the Division of Behavioral

Medicine and Clinical Psychology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the

Department of Pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Dr. Becker

has authored or co-authored more than 175 publications on ADHD, sleep, and sluggish cognitive

tempo in children and adolescents. He's the editor of ADHD in adolescents development, assessment

and treatment, and a joint editor of JCPP advances. Dr. Becker serves on numerous prestigious

editorial and advisory boards, and we are incredibly honored to welcome him here today for this

session. Before I officially hand over the mic to Dr. Becker, I do need to take care of

just a few housekeeping items. Those of you tuned into the live webinar, you can download

the slides at any time by clicking on the event resources section of your webinar screen. If
