Sleep is essential in enabling us to function well in our daily life 😴 A good sleep pattern and quality sleep is important in enabling children to participate fully in school and family life. Often children’s senses are over-stimulated and they can find it hard to regulate themselves to be calm enough to fall asleep. Each home environment and routine will be different, but here are some tips which consider the impact of the senses when we are trying to go to sleep 🛏

1. Aim for a consistent bedtime
2. Create a quiet environment – bedrooms should be as un-stimulating on the senses as possible so keep them quiet, dark, uncluttered and at a middle temperature
3. Turn off electronic devices – research shows that blue light from screens stimulates our brains
4. Try some calming activities – some children enjoy warm baths for others this is over-stimulating or stressful so try to find a quiet activity your child enjoys. Perhaps a puzzle, or time reading a book?
5. Deep pressure – some children find deep pressure helps. This could be a massage or tight squeezy cuddles or even being rolled up tight in the blanket. You could try other heavy work activities such as carrying a laundry basket or wringing out their face cloth. These types of activities stimulate our proprioceptive (body awareness) system and is known to have a calming effect on our brains
