I'm uncertain we can trust that '6X more likely' statistic. There is evidence/speculation that sleep deprivation can cause symptoms that mimic ADHD symptoms. For example: [0]. [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4340974/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4340974/ * Edit: That statistic is attributed to a Tech Crunch article [1], which in turn references another article [2]. The "6X" figure appears to be from one study involving 242 "entrepreneurs" and 93 "comparison participants" self-reporting on ADHD (and some other mental health-related conditions). It appears that the "comparison participants" were all students and faculty associated with the university. I believe the relevant chart is on p. 14. Sleep and/or sleep deprivation doesn't appear to have been something that this study considered (or attempted to control for). (I didn't read this material extremely closely, however; maybe I missed something.)
