😴 Sleep & Autism: Understanding the Challenges and Finding Support

Sleep is essential for everyone—but for many autistic individuals and their families, a good night’s rest can feel like a constant struggle. At NEST, we understand how difficult this can be, and we’re here to help.


That’s why we’ve created a free, pre-recorded workshop all about Sleep and Autism—available to watch anytime, at your own pace.


🧠 What’s in the Workshop?

In this session, we cover:

  • 🌙 What sleep actually is and why it matters for physical and mental health

  • 💭 Why sleep can be difficult for autistic individuals, including sensory differences, anxiety, and challenges with routine

  • 🛏️ Practical strategies to support better sleep, from creating calming bedtime routines to using visual aids and adjusting the environment


Whether you're a parent, carer, professional, or neurodivergent individual yourself, this workshop offers compassionate, accessible guidance grounded in real-life experience.
