Adult Sensory Diet
Daily regulation menu
A sensory diet is the daily menu of inputs that keep your nervous system regulated. Adults need one just as much — audit yours for a week.
Inputs that regulate me (deep pressure, movement, quiet, weighted, chew)
Inputs that dysregulate me (fluorescents, small talk, open plan, scents)
Morning menu — three regulating inputs before demand starts
Workday menu — micro-inputs across the day
Evening menu — recovery, not more demand
