How to help your child go to sleep

The Book That’s Helping Neurodiverse Kids - And Their Parents - Sleep Again

Why won’t they just go to sleep?

The desire for your child to quickly and peacefully drift off to sleep can feel more like a never-ending bedtime nightmare..

  • Your child is still wide awake at 10pm… again

  • The bedtime routine turns into a 2-hour war zone

  • Nothing — not melatonin, white noise, warm baths, or begging — seems to work

  • You’re constantly told to “just be more consistent”, “turn off screens” or “wind them down” — like you haven’t tried everything 100 times already.

  • You're worried this is affecting their mood, school, and mental health

  • You’re running on fumes, and no one seems to understand how hard this is

If that’s ever crossed your mind — even once — this guide was written for you.

What If Bedtime Didn’t Have To Be A Battle?

Tactics to help neurodiverse children sleep

At Bay Paediatrics, we’ve worked with hundreds of families who had given up hope of a good nights’ sleep.

This book won’t promise overnight miracles — because that’s not real life.

But what it will give you is this:

A calmer, more predictable bedtime routine — designed specifically for ADHD, Autism, and sensory needs

  1. Less arguing, fewer meltdowns — for your child and for you

  2. Tools to wind down a racing brain — even when their energy seems endless.

  3. A better understanding of your child’s nervous system and sleep cycles.

  4. Confidence in what to try next — no more second-guessing, Googling at midnight, or feeling stuck.

  5. A practical Sleep Diary to spot patterns, track progress, and give you clarity when talking to professionals.

    This isn’t just about getting more sleep.
    It’s about reclaiming your evenings, restoring your energy, and rebuilding the connection with your child.

True Sleep Confidence For Families Who Are Tired of Being Tired

Let’s be honest. There’s a ton of parenting advice out there. But most of it is built for neurotypical children — and when you try it with a child who is wired differently, it just doesn’t work.

This book was created by the team at Bay Paediatrics — New Zealand’s leading child neurodiversity clinic — who work with families like yours every single day. We understand what it means to:

  • Parent a child with ADHD, Autism, anxiety, or sensory processing challenges

  • Walk on eggshells from 6pm onward, praying that tonight might go better

  • Feel torn between doing everything “right” and just surviving another day

  • Want support — but not judgement. Guidance - without the guilt.

This book was written with your world in mind.

No unrealistic routines. No shame. No perfect solutions.

Just what works — from one tired parent to another.
