Sleep Struggles and Sensory Needs

If bedtime feels like a battle, you’re not alone. Many children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or sensory processing challenges struggle to wind down, feel safe, and fall asleep.
Tossing, turning, and bedtime anxiety can disrupt the whole family.

That’s where compression sheets come in—a safe, gentle way to promote calm and deep pressure during rest.

🧠 What Are Compression Sheets?

Compression sheets are made from soft, stretchy fabric that fits snugly over a mattress—providing even, calming pressure across the body, similar to a hug.

They offer many of the same benefits as a weighted blanket but are lighter, safer, and ideal for warmer climates.

✅ Benefits of Compression Sheets

• 🌙 Promote a sense of safety and calm

• 💨 Lightweight, breathable alternative to heavy blankets

• 🧘 Reduce night-time fidgeting and promote stillness

• ✋ Support self-regulation and sleep readiness

• 🧺 Easy to wash, quick to dry
