The past two weeks my son has been having a disturbed sleep cycle. He is having cat naps during the day. Yes, the weather is too hot and it is as if he can fall asleep just sitting. Then we feel the effects during the night. He is unable to sleep through the night and end up waking the entire household. Unlike winter, when we do have this problem he is unable to fall back asleep since we have sunrise 🌅 very early.
The body and the mind need to be relaxed The digestive system should be perfect. The weather and the bed needs to be comfortable. When all these things come together we get a good night sleep.
Sleep is something we have struggled with our boy. It is a war and we keep fighting these battles as the weather changes or his diet changes or when he has high level anxiety. Sleep is a privilege and if you are getting one, I say you are lucky.
My boy had a good night sleep last night after a couple of days. Now have to keep the tempo going 😄!
Just wanted to share our major struggle with autism on this hump day!
Little bit more tidbits.
White noise fan runs through the night and he has our Swamiji’s music on all night. Components we cannot live with!
