Sleep Better!: A Guide to Improving Sleep for Children with Special Needs by Dr. V. Mark Durand Ph.D.
A lot of the challenges with sleep can be solved in a fairly straightforward, though counterintuitive method. If somebody has trouble getting to sleep, it often works to gradually wake them up earlier and prevent them from napping. Many other fixes require similar gradual changes. Sleep drugs are often not helpful. They can also lead to addiction and get adaptation. Caffeine consumption can often lead to headaches in the morning. The book itself seems to be fairly repetitive, with practices repeated in different sections. There are a few anecdotes with different people and their challenges. Some were interesting, such as the woman who would "sleep eat" when she was supposedly on a diet.
