People with ADHD seem to have difficulty with sleep (myself included). Have you considered ADHD as part of your research?

In addition, do you know if there are any links between ADHD and Dementia/Alzheimer's and/or heart disease? Given that women have higher rates of heart disease and stroke, I've often wondered if this is tied to a reduction in sleep hours and quality (being up with children, anxiety/stress, doing things later at night when the house is asleep or early in the morning before they get up).

Anecdotally, people with ADHD tend to have more problems with sleep. They also have problems with working memory, often short-term and recall.

Many of us have Dementia "symptoms" in that we do things like forget why we walked into a room all the time, or put the keys in the fridge for example. Are they linked? Maybe, but I haven't come across a research study to prove it yet.
