Dr Bruna Sanader Vukadinovic Discusses Sleep Disorders and ADHD on Sky News

We are glad to share that our Medical Director, Dr Bruna Sanader Vukadinovic, was invited to appear on the UK morning programme on Sky News to speak about sleep disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Dr Bruna joined the Sky News morning show on Sky News, presented by Anna Jones and Kamali Melbourne, to provide expert insight into two of the most commonly misunderstood and under-recognised areas of mental health: chronic sleep problems and adult ADHD. Her invitation reflects her recognised expertise in behavioural sleep medicine and neurodevelopmental psychiatry, as well as her ability to communicate complex clinical topics clearly to a broad audience.

Raising Awareness of Sleep Disorders

During the interview, Dr Bruna highlighted how widespread sleep disorders are in the UK, and how frequently they are dismissed as lifestyle issues rather than treated as legitimate medical conditions. She discussed insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, and the impact of long-term poor sleep.

The Overlap Between ADHD and Sleep

Dr Bruna explained that many adults with ADHD experience lifelong problems with falling asleep, racing thoughts at night, irregular sleep–wake patterns, and unrefreshing sleep. These difficulties are often present long before an ADHD diagnosis is made.

Expert Commentary for the Public

Throughout the segment, Dr Bruna focused on practical, clinically grounded messages for viewers. She emphasised the importance of properly assessing sleep difficulties and excluding underlying sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome, parasomnias, and circadian rhythm disorders, rather than assuming insomnia alone. She encouraged individuals with long-standing sleep problems, or those who recognise themselves in descriptions of adult ADHD, to seek specialist assessment. Her contribution reinforced the value of specialist-led care that considers the whole person, including sleep, mental health, neurodevelopmental history, and daily functioning.
