EEG slowing predicted severity of ADHD symptoms and diagnostic status, and was also related to daytime sleepiness. Frontal EEG slowing as well as increased frontal delta were especially prominent in adults with ADHD. We have validated and adapted an objective observer-rated measure for assessing on-task sleepiness that will contribute to future sleep research in psychology and psychiatry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0924933820000280_sec17\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings indicate that the cognitive performance deficits routinely attributed to ADHD and often conceptualized as cognitive endophenotypes of ADHD are largely due to on-task sleepiness and not exclusively due to ADHD symptom severity.
