Tired Out

Tired Out is Family Fund's sleep support hub for families raising disabled and seriously ill children to find help and information about sleep issues. The hub was created by Family Fund in partnership with charities such as Scope, National Autistic Society and Contact a Family to provide information about bedtime routines, sensory influences, and much more.

Find out about sleep services in your area.
Take a look at our sleep tips to find out about anything from routines and diaries to sleep food and bedroom environment.
Read academic research papers and articles relating to sleep problems among children with assorted difficulties, disabilities and/or additional needs.
Read stories from families with similar experiences to your own, and then join in the conversation on our Facebook page.

If you have anything you would like to add to the site or have questions or queries, please email our Tired Out team.
