Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that emerges in early childhood. Sleep disorders are a common comorbidity among children and adolescents with ASD, which can exacerbate the core symptoms of the disorder and impact the growth and development of affected individuals. As a safe and repeatable non-pharmacological treatment, exercise intervention has shown positive effects on the early treatment of ASD and the management of sleep disorders, achieving certain success in the treatment of sleep disorders. This article reviews the potential mechanisms and intervention methods by which exercise can improve sleep disturbances in children with ASD. It aims to provide a theoretical foundation for optimizing exercise intervention programs aimed at alleviating sleep disorders in children and adolescents with ASD.
