The Executive Function Podcast

Good Sleep for Neurodivergent Brains, with Dr Melisa Moore Ep 80


Listen Later

Hey, team!

Your executive function relies on being well-rested and getting good sleep. Our brains do their clean up and solidify new learning when we're asleep, and being too tired can mean we struggle with emotional regulation and attention, both of which will impact our executive function!

To make it more complicated, it takes some executive function to manage sleep routines and bedtimes. And here's the rub: sleep problems are very common for neurodivergent brains. On this episode, the amazing Dr Melisa Moore shares success stories, humor, and research-backed tips to help with sleep.
Melisa's book, The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids, is out now! Check out the links below.
