Bedtime with Tics
For when tics worsen at bedtime making it hard to fall asleep
Steps
- Allow a longer wind-down period (45-60 minutes)
- Use a weighted blanket if they find deep pressure calming
- Play calming audio: rain sounds, nature sounds, or audiobooks (note: white noise is still stimulation and doesn't suit everyone)
- Don't comment on tics at bedtime. It increases awareness and anxiety
- Keep the room cool and dark
What you need
Weighted blanket (optional), audio player, calm environment
Why it works
Tics often increase at bedtime because the reduced stimulation makes the child more aware of them, and the stress of 'trying to sleep' amplifies the tic urge. A longer wind-down, deep pressure, and audio stimulation redirect the brain's focus away from the tic sensations.
Age guidance
Relevant for all ages with Tourette's. Allow flexibility in wind-down length — some children need 45-60 minutes rather than the standard 30.
Real-world example
One parent discovered that their child's tics almost disappeared while listening to an audiobook in bed. The sustained focus on the story seemed to quiet the tic circuitry. They now use this every night and it's become the most reliable part of their bedtime routine.
Troubleshooting
- Magnesium supplements (with doctor approval) may help with relaxation
- If tics prevent sleep regularly, discuss with your child's doctor
- Some children find reading in bed helps tics fade as they focus on the story
