Abstract: We examined whether sleep duration predicted internalizing symptoms in children with ADHD. Participants were 126 youth (Mage = 8.70), and data included parent-reported sleep and BASC-3 ratings. Sleep duration significantly correlated with anxiety (p = .012), but not depression (p = .085) or somatization (p = .758), supporting symptom-specific associations.
