Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 287: Macall Gordon Shares Her Best Sleep hacks for Differently Wired Kids · 29 Mar 2022 podcast

So sensory processing, we know, is just the way, and it and I would say sensory processing is even at the heart of being how you're wired, right?

It's your satellite dish for how you take in information and then how you respond to that information.

So kiddos who are more sensitive have a much thinner barrier, I say, to the outside world.

It takes much less to throw them off.

And sleep is sort of a sensory experience, right?

You need to, again, we said you need to understand that your body is tired, you need to be ready to go to sleep, and then you have to have an environment that's not annoying you.

Right.

So, um, you know, the sheets are just right, the temperature's just right.

I mean, I I never realized how sensitive I was as a sleeper until I started doing this work.

And, you know, how I have to have everything just right, otherwise I can't fall asleep.

And kids are the same way.

So figuring out um

what their sensitivities are, what things they, you know, don't like, what things help them calm down is super helpful.

Little things, here's a an interesting one.

Baths don't always calm kiddos down.

For some it's it's a sensory experience that wakes them up.

So for those k you know, parents no.

You just have to ask them, Does a bath calm them down or wake them up?

And if it wakes them up, don't do a bath at bedtime.

For visual kids, don't read a book.
