This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether weighted blankets can improve sleep in children with ADHD. About 3 out of 4 children with ADHD struggle with sleep, which can make daytime behavior harder and stress the whole family. Researchers want to see if the weighted blanket can help by providing gentle, calming pressure that settles restlessness—especially when current sleep routines haven't worked.
Many children with ADHD have sleep problems that don't improve with standard sleep advice. Some families have noticed that weighted blankets seem to help, but doctors don't yet have strong scientific evidence to know if this treatment really works, so this study aims to find out.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either a weighted blanket or a regular blanket to use at night and during the day for 4 weeks, in addition to any current ADHD treatment. You'll have sleep checked at the start and again after 4 weeks to see if the weighted blanket helped. After that, researchers will follow your health information through Danish health records to see how you continue to do over time.
