Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Experience Poor Sleep Habits

Many of the babies and children have settling and sleep problems during night. In children, with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), these problems can be more severe than in other children. Several factors have been profoundly affecting the sleep of 2- to 5-year-olds with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They are more likely to resist their bedtime, have trouble getting to sleep, suffer from anxiety regarding sleep, wake up in the middle of the night, and experience night terrors. It was already known that kids with Autism struggle with sleep issues. It has been consistently found that more than half of them and possibly as many as 4 in 5 have at least one chronic sleep disorder.

Kids with autism were 45 percent more likely to have moderate sleep problems than children with other forms of developmental delay, and the 75 percent of them are more likely than typical kids. Children with symptoms of autism has worse on nearly all aspects of sleep. Only in a couple of areas sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness appear to have about the same level of difficulty as other kids.

Children were divided into four groups: children with a classification of an autism spectrum disorder, children with other developmental delays with characteristics of autism spectrum disorder, children with other developmental delays without characteristics of autism, and children in a general population group. Researchers found that children with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental delays with autism characteristics were more than twice as likely to experience sleep problems as children in the general population group.
