Good Night, Sleep Tight, and Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite:

IRCA Articles>Self Help/Medical

Contributed by Marci Wheeler

Most parents have had some experience with a child who has difficulty falling asleep, wakes up frequently during the night, and/or only sleeps a few hours each night. Temporary sleep difficulties are an expected phase of child development. Ongoing and persistent sleep disturbances can have an adverse effect on the child, parents and other household members. Children with autism spectrum disorders appear to experience these sleep disturbances more frequently and intensely than typically developing children. A childs sleeping problems can quickly become a daily parenting challenge.

There are a number of factors to address when establishing a plan to reinforce a positive sleep pattern. First, any underlying medical problems that may be affecting sleep should be assessed. Consider checking for food and/or environmental allergies or intolerances, gastrointestinal disturbances, and seizures. All of these are more common in persons with autism spectrum disorders. Also sleep disturbances can be a side effect of other medications an individual takes and so this should be considered, too.

Sleep disorders that affect the general population should also be ruled out for your child with an autism spectrum disorder. Sleep apnea is a disorder that can affect anyone at any age. It is a disorder in which a person experiences pauses in breathing when the airway becomes obstructed during sleep. The most common cause for blockage is enlarged tonsils or adenoids. Upper respiratory illnesses and/or allergies can also contribute to the development of sleep apnea. Beside pauses in breathing, symptoms of sleep apnea in children include: snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep, sweating, night wakings, and/or frequent coughing or choking while asleep. Other sleep disorders to assess in a child, if appropriate, include sleep terrors and confusional arousals. These both are frequently referred to as parasomnias. Parasomnias are disorders of partial arousal that lead to unusual behaviors during sleep. Children with sensory processing difficulties have more problems falling asleep and night waking. An assessment and consultation with an occupational therapist trained in sensory integration may be important to assess relaxation and arousal difficulties, and to help design strategies that address these issues.

After possible medical problems have been addressed, other factors contributing to sleep problems should be considered and strategies for addressing these implemented. Other issues to consider are: environmental variables, bedtime routines and the use of a sleep training method. Each of these three topics is discussed in further detail below.

After examining your childs sleep environment more closely, there may be some adaptations and modifications needed to assist your childs ability to relax at bedtime.

Bedtime routines and rituals are very important for most children in establishing positive sleep patterns, but are extremely critical for children with an autism spectrum disorder.

After addressing medical issues, environmental variables and bedtime routines it is time to tackle the hardest piece in establishing positive sleep patterns: teaching your child to sleep through the night. There are various versions of sleep training methods you may have read or heard about. Basically after the bedtime routine is done and your child is in his bed or crib, leave the room without long drawn out words or further attempts at touching the child in any way.

If the child is upset and obviously not sleeping, wait a few minutes and then go back into the childs room to check on him/her. Checks involve going back into the childs room and briefly (not more than a minute, preferably less) touching, rubbing or maybe giving a high five, thumbs up or hug for an older child who better responds to these gestures. Gently but firmly say, its okay, its bedtime, you are okay or a similar phrase and then leave the room until it is time for the next check or until the child falls asleep.

Indiana Apartment Association – Bed_Bugs

Over the past few years, there has been a 700 percent increase in bed bug infestations across the country. Indiana is starting to see more and more cases, while other cities have seen large outbreaks.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has issued guidelines on bed bug control and prevention in HUD insured and assisted multifamily housing. The notice provides guidance on the rights and responsibilities of HUD, owners/property managers and tenants concerning bed bug infestations. It also provides information and best practices concerning preventing and controlling bed bug infestations. The National Apartment Association/National Multi Housing Council are reviewing these new guidelines.

They usually appear from one to 24 hours after a bite. Other bugs can cause similar conditions, so it it is imperative that you look for the bugs once you have a reported bite. When searching for bugs, look for eggs, molted skins, dark brown rusty spots (feces) on the bedding, mattress, and box springs. Begin looking at the head of the bed and work your way outward in the room. Look at all furniture, sofas, carpeting, drapery, picture frames, baseboards, electrical outlets, and electronic equipment. Also, look for blood smears on the walls from squished bugs.

Q. What do bed bugs look like? A. Adults bed bugs are reddish-brown in color with oval shaped, flattened bodies. After feeding, the body becomes swollen. They hatch about the size of a pinhead and look like walking poppy seeds. They grow to about a quarter of an inch in length. You may first notice them when they are the size of an apple seed and may be mistaken for a cockroach or a tick.

Q. Where are bed bugs found?A. Bed bugs are found anywhere people are. They are more likely found in locations with a high rate of occupant turnover, such as hotels, cruise ships, dormitories, multifamily housing, nursing homes, or movie theaters.

Q. Where do bed bugs hide? A. They hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, night stands, dressers, upholstered furniture, cracks, crevices, behind switch plates, electricial outlets, behind baseboards, window and door casings, under carpet, seams in wallpaper, behind pictures, and in draperies and blinds. They prefer a semi-dark environment and rougher surfaces such as wood, paper, or fabric.

Q. How do they spread? A. The bed bug (Cimex Lectularius) climbs easily up any fabric, wood, or paper surfaces. The spread by attaching themselves to household items, such as bedding, furniture, luggage, clothing, backpacks, purses, briefcases, animal cages, picture frames and electronic devices.

Ramada I-70 East Indianapolis

I stayed at the Ramada on March 15th and was supposed to be there through the 17th but left the first night. I woke up feeling very itchy around midnight and saw the bugs crawling across the sheets. From what I can find online they were fairly mature because they were easily seen. I trapped a few in a plastic bag and called the front desk to inform the staff.
