Sleep, how well did you sleep last night?
If you have a child with additional needs and sleep issues, bedtime can be tricky.
Whether they struggle to communicate how they’re feeling, have increased anxiety, sensory issues or social cueing problems, sleeping well may be difficult. For example research estimates that between 40-80% of children and young adults with autism have sleep problems. If your child regularly has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, it may be a sign of a sleep issue.
Lack of sleep can impact in the following ways:
- Aggression
- Depression
- Hyperactivity
- Increased behavioural problems
- Irritability
- Poor learning and cognitive performance
Poor sleep can be problematic for both your child and yourself, leaving the days more difficult to deal with.

What a wonderful few days we had at our winter HAF club. Our days were filled with so much fun and enjoyment.
We had so many activities each day such as a healthy eating programme with Healthworks where we made homemade soup and apple pies.
Art venturers joined us, we had a fantastic arts and craft session through out the whole day
We were also happy to host Joe Jangles and the Bare Toad circus skills team.
This winter HAF club we were lucky to experience trips to new places such as the Centre for Life to ice skate, after we had yummy hot chocolate and jacket potato’s.
We purchased tickets to a relaxed session of Peter Pan at the Tyne theatre.
We also enjoyed all of our rebound centre facilities we had a great time bouncing and lots of different sports activities on in the main sports hall.
We ended the holidays with a party, disco lights, party games, prizes, foam snow machine and great entertainment and magic show from the wonderful Party Gems. .
We are now planning our Easter holidays and look forward to seeing you all there.
