Bedtime routine… but no idea what to include? 👀
For many children with autism, bedtime isn’t just “routine”… it’s about rigidity restricted interests, and what actually feels manageable.

You might be seeing:

• restricted interests (so activities feel limited or repetitive)
• difficulty with independent play
• resistance when moving from one activity to the next
• “calm” activities that actually keep your child more alert

So even with a routine in place… it still isn’t working.
Because it’s not just having a routine. It’s whether the activities fit your child.

I’ve put together a free “Before Bed Activities” guide with some ideas you might not have tried yet.

New blog is live 👀

Screens get blamed for everything when sleep is a struggle…
but they’re rarely the whole picture.

If you’ve already tried cutting screens and nothing changed,
there’s usually more going on.

In this blog I break down:
– why screens aren’t the full picture
– what actually impacts sleep more
– and why cutting screens doesn’t always work

2am thoughts like this are exhausting.
The overthinking.
The dread of tomorrow.
The feeling that nothing is working.
You’re not doing anything wrong.
Sleep just hasn’t been assessed properly yet..

If you’re stuck in this cycle — I can help.

I was driving today and had a thought…

I’m (probably) not for you.

Not if bedtime feels easy.
Not if everyone is sleeping well.
Not if the cuddles are working for your family.

I’m here for the families where nights feel overwhelming.
Where sleep deprivation is affecting everything.
When we assess sleep properly, patterns become clearer, and change becomes possible.

If that’s you, I’m here.

I’ll be at the Saturday and in Ely on the Sunday.

Lots to prep between now and then, but really looking forward to getting out, meeting people, and talking all things sleep 🤍
If you’re coming along, make sure you stop by and say hi!”

A 9pm bedtime for a 4-year-old isn’t automatically wrong. If they nap 1–2 hours, they may need 5–6 hours awake to build enough sleep pressure. So if they wake at 3pm… 9pm may be biologically appropriate. Earlier isn’t always better. Timing alignment matters more than the clock.

11/04/2026

Support at bedtime is not a bad thing. You didn’t “create” this. Presence can be regulation. And regulation often comes before independence. There are structured, gradual ways to build sleep skills — without tears, without force. Sleep change should feel calm and biologically aligned.

09/04/2026

If your autistic child is waking at 2am… The issue may have started at 8pm. When a child falls asleep with full support, their nervous system expects those same conditions between sleep cycles. Sleep repeats all night. If the conditions change, they wake fully. This isn’t about blame. It’s about how sleep architecture works. Fix bedtime alignment — and 2am often improves. Save this if nights feel relentless.

07/04/2026

So you removed screens… and sleep still didn’t improve?

That’s because screens are rarely the whole problem.

It could be:
– timing
– transitions
– low sleep pressure
– regulation

Screens are just one piece of a much bigger puzzle.

If nothing has worked so far, you’re probably looking at the wrong piece.

05/04/2026

Sleep isn’t just about the night.

It changes how your child:
– learns
– copes
– regulates
– shows up during the day

When sleep improves… everything else gets easier.

Not because your child has changed —
but because they’re no longer exhausted.

Better sleep = better days. If things feel hard right now, start here.
