<\/p>\nSleep is the workshop where the brain repairs and organizes itself. During the night, we process what we have learned and clean up metabolic toxins. However, in atypical neurodevelopment, this process is often interrupted.<\/p>\n
Circadian rhythms are regulated by light and hormones such as melatonin. In many children with ASD, variations have been observed in the synthesis of this hormone, causing the brain to remain alert when it should be at rest. This lack of synchrony is not a lack of discipline; it is a biological difference.<\/p>\n

Insufficient rest not only leads to drowsiness. In autism, it often results in increased sensory hypersensitivity and greater difficulties in transition between activities. An unrested nervous system is a nervous system more vulnerable to stress.<\/p>\n
From Blue Route<\/strong>, we advocate for a science-based approach<\/strong> to improving the quality of family life.<\/p>\n Taking care of sleep is taking care of the basis of development<\/strong>. At Blue Route, our mission is to shorten the time of uncertainty by providing tools that help understand what every child needs to thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sleep is the workshop where the brain repairs and organizes itself.
