One of the most important routine to establish, especially for kids with ADHD and autism spectrum disorders, is the bedtime routine. But why are these routines so important? If you have a child who is hard to manage at bedtime, or will not settle for bed, who is up and down all night long, or comes into your bed in the wee hours– you are tired. And guess what? Your child is tired, too. And believe it or not, a tired child can look like a more hyper and active child, and the more tired he gets, the harder it is to get to sleep!Often kids with ADHD and AS have a hard time slowing down at night. Their brains just don’t feel sleepy, but a good night’s sleep is imperative for concentration and focus during the daytime. A good, solid bedtime routine “cues” the brain to start to relax and “shut off” for the night. Good sleep hygiene is a behavior. It is something we can teach our brains and bodies to do. All that getting up and down all night long — it’s a behavior. Coming into your bed, waking you late at night — those are behaviors. Lucky for us, behaviors can change!
