That’s a chicken-egg problem in ADHD, because ADHD is cause of sleeping problem and managing sleep pattern is one of the challenges.

On the other hand proper night rest decreases severity of the symptoms.

So yes, I agree that getting proper sleep is beneficial, consider that one might not be able to get it without managing ADHD first.

Personal anecdote: Quit caffeine. Worked wonders for me. Seems that I have some big sensitivity to it, so when I quit my sleep was better than it has ever been. Not going to work for everyone, and yes the headaches are pretty bad, but it's worth a shot.
