Nailed it. I’d add that this is common with many of the teens with IDD and Autism that I work with, particularly the ones that identify as night owls who still have to begin their days early. The answer is simple, but they often resist prioritizing sleep over social media or other screen time.

Thank you so much for this article. I don’t know how Substack sent it to me by email, perhaps based on my search history. But I am dealing with this very issue daily and nightly with my teenager. I’ve just downloaded your [most recent, perhaps] book on audible. Can’t wait to listen and read more from your experience. Thank you!
