AuDHD Sleep Guide

You've probably heard it all. Same bedtime every night. No screens. Keep the room dark. Have a consistent routine.

Those things can have a place. But when your child is both autistic and has ADHD, bedtime can pull in two directions at once. Some nights they're wired and can't stop moving. Other nights they're overwhelmed by every sound and texture in the room. Sometimes both, in the same evening.

This guide goes further than a quick checklist. It walks through five areas in depth, covering the areas that matter for both profiles at once, with practical strategies you can start trying tonight.

What's inside

  • How sensory processing shows up for an AuDHD child, movement-seeking and sensory-sensitive at once
  • Environmental adjustments, sound, light, touch, temperature and pressure, that support both sets of needs
  • How predictability calms the nervous system, even on nights the body still needs to move
  • Ways to ease transitions, so moving into bedtime doesn't unravel the whole evening
  • How to support regulation in the hour before bed, giving the body movement earlier and calm later

The five areas we cover

1

Sensory processing

Understanding a child who can be both movement-seeking and sensitive to input, sometimes in the same evening.

2

Sleep environment

Sound, light, touch, temperature and pressure, reviewed with both profiles in mind.

3

Predictability

Why the same sequence every night is one of the most calming signals you can offer.

4

Transitions

How to ease the shift out of an engaging activity and into the quiet of bedtime.

5

Regulation before bedtime

Movement earlier in the evening, calm later, so the body's ready to settle by bedtime.

This guide is for you if

  • Bedtime is still a struggle most nights, despite having a routine in place
  • Standard sleep advice hasn't fitted your AuDHD child, because it was only built for one profile
  • Some nights look completely different from others, and you want to understand why
  • You want practical strategies grounded in your child's sensory and regulation needs, not a one-size-fits-all script

Will this guarantee my child sleeps through the night?

No guide can promise a specific result. This one gives you practical areas to explore and strategies to try, based on your child's sensory and regulation needs.

Is this a substitute for professional support?

No. It's general information, not individual medical or therapeutic advice. If sleep difficulties are ongoing, please speak with your GP, paediatrician or an occupational therapist. If you'd like individual support, you're welcome to book a free chat.
