7 in 10 Children With ADHD Struggle To Sleep – This Simple Tool Is Changing That

By Mike Aylwin | July 26th, 2025

Picture the scene: It’s early evening, you’ve dimmed the lights, turned off the screens, and read your loved one their favorite bedtime story (twice), and yet they’re still wide awake, fidgeting around and tossing and turning. 

 

This will be a scene that is all too familiar for parents across the globe, especially those raising children with ADHD, autism, or heightened sensory sensitivity, where as many as seven in ten children struggle to sleep. For these families, the bedtime routine can feel like a daily uphill battle, and no matter how tired their child might be during the day, the moment their head hits the pillow, their brain kicks into overdrive. 

Why their minds can’t “turn off”

We can all feel restless at night at times, but for children with ADHD, transitioning from the buzz of daily life to the calm and stillness required for a good night’s sleep can be a challenge. Research has shown that this is primarily due to the way their nervous system processes sensory information, meaning their brains are still firing at bedtime, resulting in children who want to sleep but physically can’t settle. 

 

To combat this, many children resort to repetitive movements, such as rubbing their sheets or rocking back and forth, to calm themselves. This leaves them feeling fidgety and unrested, but it’s not just about the children. It can also be physically and emotionally draining for parents as they juggle a child who won’t sleep with their own work, life, and exhaustion. 

The reason behind traditional routines falling short 

While traditional bedtime routines, such as turning off devices, sticking to routines, and having a warm bath, are excellent foundations, for neurodivergent children or those with sensory sensitivities, these aren’t always enough. 

 

That’s because the real issue often lies not in the routine but in the need for self-regulation. Kids with ADHD usually require tactile or physical input to soothe themselves; it doesn’t mean that they’re misbehaving, but just struggling to calm their brains down after the day, leaving them feeling wired, anxious, and overwhelmed by their thoughts and surroundings. 

 

It is these reasons where traditional bedtime rituals fall short by not fully meeting the sensory needs of children who often require something they can touch, squeeze, or hold onto to help their brains slow down.

The soothing solution helping transform nightly routines 

Many parents are naturally worried about opting for medication to help get their child to sleep better, but thankfully, there are natural, non-invasive solutions that are transforming the nightly routine. Products like the Bombees Calming Kids Pillow are helping to encourage a better night’s sleep by naturally soothing and calming children down. 

 

While they look very cute on the outside, these thoughtfully designed pillows have been designed with pediatric sleep science in mind. Each pillow features soft, sensory ears and a small tail that is perfect for those fidgeting fingers. This tactile element allows kids to redirect their restlessness into calming, repetitive movements that leave them feeling safer, more secure, and better able to relax their minds and bodies. 

 

What’s more, Bombees is ergonomically designed to support growing necks and spines, making it a favorite among pediatric sleep experts. It’s also crafted from breathable, ultra-soft materials that are not only gentle on even the most sensitive of skin but are also entirely free from harsh chemicals or dyes.

 

All of this means that those hour long battles at bedtime, filled with tears and restlessness, can become a thing of the past and you’ll see your loved one feeling more secure, calmer, and ready to drift off to sleep in minutes!

A natural path to easier evenings 

Of course, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to bedtime, but for children who need a little extra comfort and sensory support, tools like the Bombees Calming Pillow can make a world of difference.

 

Parents have reported that their children are falling asleep faster, staying asleep for longer periods, and waking up in a better mood. However, just as importantly, parents feel empowered, knowing they’ve found a gentle, effective way to support their kids’ emotional and physical needs.

 

So, if bedtime has become a battleground in your home, and you're searching for a safe, non-invasive way to help your child settle, then the Bombees pillow could be the perfect solution for you.
