30-Minute Wind Down
Your child is wired at bedtime and can't settle
Steps
- Set a 30-minute wind-down alarm (same time every night)
- Screens off. No negotiation on this one
- Dim the lights in the house
- Offer calm activities: colouring, audiobook, gentle play
- Follow the same sequence every night
What you need
Timer, dim lighting, calm activity options, audiobook app
Why it works
Children with ADHD, Autism, and Sensory Processing differences often have dysregulated circadian rhythms. Their brains don't naturally wind down the way neurotypical brains do. A consistent 30-minute wind-down ritual helps train the body to anticipate sleep, creating a neurological bridge between activity and rest.
Age guidance
Works for all ages from 3 upwards. Teenagers may need 45-60 minutes and will resist the screens-off rule, but it's worth holding the boundary.
Real-world example
One parent described their first week as 'a disaster' — their child fought the wind-down harder than they fought bedtime. By week two, the child's body started adjusting. By week three, they were asking for their audiobook. Consistency is everything with this one.
Troubleshooting
- If 30 minutes isn't enough, extend to 45
- Melatonin gummies (with doctor approval) can help during the transition
- A weighted blanket can help some children feel settled
