In a study published in the research journal Biological Psychiatry – Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, our experts Predrag Petrovic and John Axelsson show that healthy individuals with ADHD tendencies will become significantly worse in cognitive tasks if they do not sleep than those without such tendencies.
