My favorite tip from consumer reports is that you:
(this is from National Center on Sleep Disorders Research, American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and individual sleep-medicine experts they consulted):
Use the bedroom only for sleeping or sex.
I wonder how many other things we use our bedroom for?
Little children make sex very difficult and when the little ones join you (every night!) it's unlikely if impossible that the bedroom will be used for anything other than:
1. sleeping (a little)
2. jumping on mommy and daddy to wake them up
3. jumping because it's fun
4. vomiting or anything else that comes out of a sick child
5. a place to watch tv in bed with mommy and daddy (think safe secure nest)
6. a great place for folding laundry
7. an inconvenient place for building puzzles (try moving the puzzle to go to sleep)
8. a second kitchen when under the weather
9. a mysterious warren of comforter and pillow tunnels ripe for exploration
