Sleep difficulties are not your fault

Up to 80% of children with ADHD experience significant sleep problems, and the figure is similar for children on the autism spectrum. Difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, early rising, and restless nights are not signs of bad parenting — they are neurological patterns linked to how your child's brain regulates arousal, melatonin production, and sensory processing. These sleep difficulties have real consequences: daytime behaviour worsens, concentration drops, emotional regulation suffers, and ADHD medication may seem less effective. Meanwhile, parents are running on empty. Our Child Sleep Clinic offers a structured, evidence-based pathway specifically designed for neurodivergent children. We combine behavioural strategies tailored to your child's sensory profile with pharmacological support where appropriate — all led by a Pharmacist Independent Prescriber who can assess and prescribe directly.

What the Pathway Includes

1

Sleep Mapping Assessment

A comprehensive 45-minute consultation reviewing sleep history, daytime functioning, medication, sensory profile, and family impact. Uses validated screening tools.

2

Personalised Sleep Plan

A written plan combining environmental adjustments, bedtime routine strategies, and sensory accommodations specific to your child's needs.

3

Behavioural Intervention

Structured behavioural strategies adapted for neurodivergent children. Not generic sleep hygiene — approaches that account for ADHD impulsivity, autism rigidity, and sensory needs.

4

Pharmacological Review

If behavioural strategies alone are not enough, our prescriber can initiate melatonin or other appropriate sleep medications, with full consideration of existing ADHD/autism medications.

5

Follow-Up Reviews

Regular reviews to assess progress, adjust doses, refine strategies, and ensure sustainable improvement. We do not prescribe and disappear.

6

Parent Support

Guidance and support for parents navigating their own exhaustion. Option to add the Adult Sleep Clinic pathway for parent recovery.
