Bedtime Sensory Routine Poster- A Visual Guide for Bedtime Regulation (Bonus Educational Video Included)
Transform evenings with this sensory-based bedtime routine! Created by a pediatric OT, it shows you exactly how to support your child’s nervous system from start to finish—starting with movement that releases excess energy, then transitions to organizing, soothing, and regulation-boosting activities that prepare the brain and body to feel calm for restful sleep. This guide helps reduce bedtime resistance, supports smoother transitions, and brings more connection and calm to your nightly routine.

My 2.5 year old was taking over an hour to fall asleep at bedtime. The bed time sensory routine made it so easy to incorporate short activities with things we have readily available that really help her to wind down for bed. She started falling asleep in 30-45 min and is so much calmer since implementing your bedtime routine!

Your bedtime routine changed our lives!! Our autistic 3 year old would literally wrestle with his stuffed toys for over an hour, often two. Now he will go to bed and fall asleep so calmly and even if he isn’t quite tired yet, he just lies there, resting. We started about 6 months ago and now do all the day time sensory activities too. Thank you for helping my boy ♥️
