Getting kids with autism to sleep can feel like an impossible battle. From bedtime anxiety to sensory sensitivities, many factors can make falling and staying asleep a real challenge. In this episode, I’m sharing the struggles my own children have faced with sleep—and the solutions that have actually helped.
We’ll cover:
✨ Why sleep can be so difficult for kids with autism
✨ How the fear of not sleeping can make things worse
✨ The importance of a consistent bedtime routine (just like we did when they were babies!)
✨ Practical strategies to create a calming sleep environment
✨ How food, blue light, and sensory sensitivities impact sleep
✨ Why audiobooks on slow speed can work wonders
✨ The benefits of magnesium and the magnesium foot spray I’ve been using
If bedtime is a struggle in your home, I hope these tips help your little ones (and you!) get the rest you need. 💜
