Sleeping on the Spectrum: Helping Kids Rest, Recharge & Regulate


Listen Later

🎙️ In this episode of Neurolicious, we are pulling back the covers on one of the most common yet complex challenges faced by families of children on the autism spectrum: sleep.

We’re diving into:

  • Why sleep can be tricky for neurodivergent kids
  • The role of melatonin and when it might help (or not)
  • How to build bedtime routines that work
  • Signs your child may be overtired—and how that shows up in their behaviour
  • When it’s time to reach out to professionals for a sleep plan that actually sticks

Whether your little one is wide awake at midnight or struggling with early morning meltdowns, this episode is packed with relatable insights, gentle guidance, and practical tools to support better sleep—for your child and your whole family.

So grab a warm drink, get comfy, and let’s talk bedtime without the burnout. 🛏️💤
