Individuals with autism often experience sleep disorders, which can
significantly impact their overall health and well-being. Common sleep issues
include difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and
early morning awakenings. Factors contributing to these problems may include
sensory sensitivities, anxiety, and irregular melatonin production. Sleep
disturbances can exacerbate behavioural challenges and impair daytime
functioning, leading to increased irritability and difficulty concentrating.
Addressing sleep disorders in individuals with autism requires a multifaceted
approach, including establishing a consistent bedtime routine, creating a
sleep-friendly environment, and possibly seeking medical advice for melatonin
supplements or other treatments. Proper sleep management can greatly enhance
the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families, promoting
better mental and physical health.
