The holidays can be magical… and completely exhausting when your child has ADHD.

Late nights, travel, sugar, screens, unfamiliar beds, and heightened emotions can quickly undo even the most carefully built sleep routine. If your child’s sleep falls apart during the holidays, you are not failing. This is genuinely harder for ADHD brains.

In this episode, Dr. Olivia Kessel shares practical, realistic strategies to help you protect your child’s sleep during the festive season and gently reset routines when January arrives.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why holidays are especially disruptive to ADHD sleep
• How overstimulation, routine changes, and emotional intensity affect regulation
• What to pack in a holiday sleep toolkit
• How to protect wind-down time without becoming the “fun police”
• When and how to manage sugar and screen time
• What to do if sleep completely falls apart
• How to reset sleep routines calmly in the New Year

This episode is for parents who are juggling family expectations, disrupted routines, and a child who struggles to switch off. You will leave feeling reassured, supported, and better prepared.
