ADHD and Sleep: How to Help Your Child Rest Better

Children with ADHD often have trouble falling asleep. Their minds remain active and their bodies have difficulty relaxing. Good sleep is important for their development, behavior, and mood. Fortunately, as a parent, you can do a lot to make the nights more peaceful.

Why do children with ADHD often sleep restlessly?

Children with ADHD experience stimuli intensely. At the end of the day, they often have trouble relaxing. This can lead to:

- Lying awake for a long time

- Excessive tossing and turning

-Waking up tired

Lack of sleep often makes the symptoms worse during the day. A fixed bedtime routine and a quiet environment can make a big difference.

What can help? The right pillow

A good pillow supports the head and neck in a safe and comfortable way. Think of an anatomically shaped model that fits the body shape of your child. Materials should be soft and suitable for sensitive skin.

There are also playful shapes such as a U-shaped or cuddly cushion that provide extra security.

Choosing a pillow: what should you pay attention to?

- Is it suitable for your child's age?

- It is made of breathable, skin-friendly materials

- Provides support for a natural sleeping position

A suitable pillow such as the Kid Pillow provides comfort, rest and a good body posture while sleeping. This contributes to better nights and a more rested child during the day.
