Most “ADHD” children don’t have bedtimes, and the parents don’t parent them. Instead, they feed them a steady diet of junk, fast food and screens. No exercise, no fresh air.
One of the biggest farces is “oppositional defiance disorder” what was once called a “tantrum” and the “belt” usually got rid of this pesky problem.’
I say this as an experienced (at one time divorced/single) mother of two successful adult children, one of whom (my son) was always full of energy, extremely intelligent and easily “bored.” Others wanted me to drug him...um no. I did not fail to discipline and train my children.
Funny how they don’t have this problem in the Amish community, just mostly single moms.

Flame suit ON!
This article makes sense. Two of my grandkids (12 yr old girl and 9 yr old boy) have ADHD. They are hockey players and are on the ice at least 3 times a week at least…hockey camp in off season. Melatonin helps my granddaughter. Nothing else helps her.
Sometimes it’s caused by a deletion/duplication in genes responsible for neurodeloopment.
Sometimes this can affect circadian rhythms:

Sometimes, a lack of discipline in the home is part of that. However, there are other issues that could be at play, like addicted parents or dysfunctional homes, bullying at school that creates anxiety around bedtime knowing what you have to face the next day.
When I was in school, it was basically 8 hour of abuse during the day and teachers were allowing it.
