The Unseen Struggle of ADHD: Intrusive Sleep Intrusive sleep is an unwanted and recurring invasion of sleep into daily activities, disrupting concentration, productivity, and overall functioning.
This phenomenon is distinct from falling asleep at random moments or having trouble waking up; it's an involuntary intrusion of sleep that can occur at any time, whether one is sitting, walking, working, or engaging in leisure activities.
Research suggests that intrusive sleep affects a significant portion of individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), estimated to be between 40% and 60% of the population.
