SLOW DOWN & SLUMBER:

No matter what stage of life you're in, sleep is essential to staying happy, healthy and functional in everyday life. Despite how critical sleep is for us, nearly 30% of children have trouble with achieving good sleep. One reason for sleep issues may be related to the way a child’s body experiences and reacts to the world around them. Sensory stimulation (smells, sights, sounds, touch) can actually make it difficult for some children to achieve a state of calm and relaxation, which is necessary for sleep. 

Our experts have created multiple sleep strategies that span diet, lighting, deep breathing, cognitive tasks and deep pressure instruction that are proven to help you tackle the chaos, bring about calm and help your child get ready for sleep. LEARN MORE...

Some researchers in the field of sleep have discovered a significant link between sleep behaviors/patterns and the way one’s body experiences sensory stimulation. Research has found that children who are overly sensitive to sights, touch, movement, and sound actually have greater difficulty with achieving good sleep. 

Children with sensory needs are even more likely to have challenges falling asleep, staying asleep, and being comfortable while sleeping. There is even evidence that sleep challenges increase if a child has sensory challenges on top of other issues, such as ADHD, ASD, and/or intellectual disability.

SENSORY RELIEF FOR SLEEP TROUBLES:

If sleep difficulties persist, they can have a lasting impact on behavior, self-regulation, and even depression. One way to tackle sleep issues is by helping a child manage their levels of over-stimulation. Participating in calming, soothing sensory routines can reduce overstimulation, bring about calm, and help your child get ready for sleep. A strong sleep routine that incorporates soothing sensory stimulation can make all the difference for the health and well-being of your child.
