Abstract
Background: A wide variety of psychiatric conditions are associated with social cognitive deficits. The relationship between social cognition and many factors, especially executive functions (EF), has been examined, but there is no study examining sleep and social cognition in children with attention deficit activity disorder (ADHD). It is important to find new approaches and intervention areas to improve their social cognitive skills. The main hypothesis of our study was that sleep disturbance would predict lower social cognition scores. We hypothesized that sleep disturbances and EF impairment could predict lower social cognitive performance.
