A neuro-affirming guide for sensory seeking neurodivergent children

Bedtime doesn’t have to be a battle.

If your neurodivergent child struggles with winding down, stalling at bedtime, or waking frequently, you’re definitely not alone. Many children with ADHD, Autism, or sensory processing differences find sleep challenging due to difficulties with transitions, sensory sensitivities, and an under-responsive nervous system that craves movement and input.

This 22-page digital guide is designed specifically for parents like you—those who want a compassionate, connection-based approach that truly understands the needs of neurodivergent children. It’s not about rigid routines or adding more stress to your evenings. It’s about meeting your child where they are, using sensory-based strategies that feel natural, playful, and adaptable to your unique child.

What you’ll get in this guide:

✨ Why sleep can be particularly challenging for neurodivergent children—and what really helps

✨ How intentional sensory input can make bedtime smoother and more predictable

✨ A step-by-step guide to creating a flexible, pre-bedtime sensory wind-down that works for your child

✨ Practical ideas for transitioning away from and replacing screen time before bed with engaging, calming sensory activities

✨ A Sensory Wind-Down Toolbox featuring tools for 5 senses - all with free & low-cost options

✨ Adaptations for different neurodivergent needs, including demand-avoidant children (PDA-friendly strategies)

✨ A real-life example of a multi-sensory, PDA-friendly bedtime wind-down

✨ A printable Sensory Toolbox Menu for quick, stress-free sensory play planning

✨ Guidance on what to do when sleep struggles persist, including underlying causes and next steps

This is not another rigid sleep plan—it’s a flexible toolkit designed to support your child’s unique sensory and emotional needs while making bedtime easier for your whole family.
