NeuroNest Personalised Sleep Plan
Personalised sleep support for autistic and ADHD children aged 3 to 9
Understand what may be getting in the way of your child’s sleep and receive a clear, individualised plan showing you what to try first.
NeuroNest sleep support looks beyond bedtime behaviour. Your child’s sleep is considered across sleep biology, timing, sensory needs, regulation, emotional safety, communication, routines, environment and family circumstances.
This plan may be helpful if your child:
takes a long time to settle to sleep
wakes frequently during the night
wakes very early
has long periods awake overnight or split nights
becomes anxious or distressed around bedtime
needs a parent nearby to settle, and your family would like support with the current sleep pattern
appears tired but finds it difficult to wind down
has sensory needs that affect bedtime or sleep
has an irregular sleep pattern
has sleep needs that have not been well supported by standard sleep advice
What you receive
1. Comprehensive online intake and sleep diary
Complete the intake from home, at a time that suits your family. It explores your child’s current sleep pattern, bedtime and settling, night waking, early waking, daily rhythms, sensory preferences, regulation, communication, relevant health information, previous strategies and your family’s priorities.
2. Individual analysis of the whole sleep picture
Your information is reviewed to identify factors that may be contributing to your child’s sleep difficulties. The focus is on understanding the pattern rather than applying a one-size-fits-all routine.
3. A personalised written sleep plan
Your plan explains what may be affecting sleep, what to prioritise and practical strategies tailored to your child and family.
Recommendations may address sleep timing and circadian rhythm, sleep pressure, bedtime routines, settling, night waking, early waking, split nights, sensory comfort, the sleep environment, regulation and physiological arousal, parental presence and co-regulation, and daytime factors that may influence sleep.
4. Clear priorities so you know where to begin
Recommendations are placed in priority order so you can introduce changes gradually. Your time, energy, support and preferences help determine what is realistic. The plan explains what to monitor and when further professional assessment may be appropriate.
A neurodiversity-affirming approach
The plan is designed around your child's individual profile. There is no expectation to leave a distressed child alone, and needing a parent nearby is not automatically treated as a problem to eliminate. Connection, predictability, sensory comfort and emotional safety are considered alongside sleep science.
Optional follow-up support
Additional written online support can be added separately if you would like help reviewing progress, clarifying recommendations and making appropriate adjustments after you receive the plan.
Research informs the plan. Your child shapes it.
Research provides principles and possible strategies, rather than a single answer for every child. Recommendations are considered alongside your child's sleep pattern, communication, sensory preferences, family circumstances and response to changes. Where the evidence is limited or does not closely match your child's age or needs, that uncertainty matters.
Important scope information
NeuroNest provides educational and practical sleep support. This service does not diagnose or treat medical conditions and is not a medical treatment plan. Where information suggests that a medical or physiological issue may require assessment, families are encouraged to speak with an appropriate health professional.
After purchase: you will be guided to complete the sleep intake and sleep diary. Your information is then reviewed and used to develop your personalised sleep plan.
Why NeuroNest considers the whole sleep picture
Sleep timing and daily rhythm: Wake time, naps, bedtime and periods awake overnight are reviewed together. This helps us consider whether the proposed sleep opportunity fits your child's current pattern, rather than assuming an earlier bedtime is always the answer.
Sensory comfort and regulation: We ask about light, sound, temperature, bedding, clothing and movement, and what your child communicates about these experiences. The aim is to identify practical changes that feel comfortable and manageable for your child.
Connection and emotional safety: We explore what helps your child feel safe, how they experience separation and which forms of reassurance they prefer. Any changes to parental presence are considered alongside your child's response and your family's priorities.
Health considerations: Relevant health information and medication are part of the review. Concerns that may need medical assessment are identified for discussion with an appropriate health professional; routine changes do not replace that assessment.
Your child's voice and your family's priorities
The intake considers strengths and interests, what your child communicates about sleep, what has helped or made things harder, strategies you do not want to use and how much change feels realistic. Progress is defined with your family. It does not automatically mean sleeping alone all night.
Common questions
Is this sleep training? NeuroNest offers individualised educational and practical support, rather than a standard behavioural sleep-training programme.
Does my child need to fall asleep independently? Not necessarily. Goals depend on your child's needs, the current sleep pattern and what your family wants support with.
Is improvement guaranteed? No. Sleep is complex and outcomes vary. The aim is to help you understand the sleep picture, choose realistic priorities and monitor how your child responds.
What happens after purchase? The next steps are a comprehensive intake and sleep diary, followed by individual review and a written plan. This is a personalised service, not an instant download. Additional written follow-up support is offered separately, as described above.
