3. Effort

Effort: regulating alertness, sustaining effort, and processing speed.

Many with ADHD report they can perform short-term projects well, but have much more difficulty with sustained effort over longer periods of time. They also find it difficult to complete task on time. Especially when required to do expository writing(Intended to explain or describe something).

Many also experience chronic difficulty regulating sleep and alertness often they stay up too late because they cannot shut their head off. Once asleep, they often sleep like dead people and have a big problem getting up in the morning.
