Q: "I sleep up to 12 hours a night and nap during the day. Is excessive sleeping a symptom of inattentive type ADHD?"

A: Your need for more-than-average sleep at night, plus daytime naps, is not the result of ADHD. Something else is going on in your life — perhaps depression or other stresses.
You should see a mental health professional to find the cause.
