Image gallery for: Getting your little sensory seeker to sleep can be a challenge here are 5 things that have helped us get our daughters to sleep faster and sleep deeper at night 1 proprioception play before bed this type of play provides deep pressure and input to their muscles helping them regulate their nervous systems this is basically our kids last change to wrestle swing jump climb and get it all out before bed time 2 brought the rocking chair back into the routine rocking can help calm an overstimulated nervous system and have a soothing event which helps transition our daughter from an active state to a more relaxed one to have an easier time to get to sleep 3 weighted plush once our daughter is in bed we hand her the weighted dino to snuggle or lay on her back or legs the pressure from the weighted plush gives her body input that helps promote comfort and reduce anxiety 4 diffuse and roll oils on we diffuse an oil called balance for nervous system support for the kids and for us to stay calm and relaxed at bed time we also roll on the kids oil blend calmer to help relax their bodies and get into deeper sleep 5 no sound machine i was sooooo skeptical about how this one would go when i heard about this especially since we put the girls down together in the same room at the same time but i heard recently that sound machines can put kids into fight or flight mode especially kids who process stimuli differently to my surprise they fall asleep faster and slept deeper which of these are you going to try with your sensory seeker drop it in the comments want a link to order our favorite bedtime oils drop “sleep” in the comments
