Important Information
This application is a tracking and observation tool only. It is designed to help you identify patterns and correlations in sleep data, but all medical decisions should be made in consultation with qualified healthcare professionals.
Melatonin is a prescription medication in the UK for children. This app tracks medication usage for your reference, but never adjust dosage, timing, or formulation without consulting your GP or pediatrician.
Before assuming sleep issues are solely related to autism, it's important to rule out underlying medical conditions such as sleep apnoea, oesophageal reflux, constipation, dental problems, ear infections, and other health issues.
