Top 5 Sleep Tips
1. Create a sleep inducing "sleep environment": dark room, cool, white noise of some sort
2. Create a consistent sleep schedule.
3. Make sure your children get an age appropriate amount of sleep.
4. Limit things that may hinder sleep: caffeine, sugar, tv/video games
5. Have a simple, attainable bedtime routine
-Infants: Swaddle
-Infants: Don't let them get overtired- they will probably only have 1-2 hours between sleep

My daughter always gives me the usual "I'm thirsty" and "I have to go potty". I always make sure to have a sippy by the bed and have her try to go potty before getting into bed.
My son always has to watch "one more show" before bed. A good way to get around that is with the DVR: I can record the show that he just HAS to see and let him watch it in the morning when he wakes up.
Just knowing what the kids have asked for in the past helps make me think of a plan of attack if it happens again.
My daughter rarely gives excuses to get up - she's been around long enough to know the routine and that we don't let them stay up. She knows she has to use the bathroom and get her drink before she gets in bed. The only time she gets up is if she can't find a particular doll or her blanket. I try to make sure that she has these items before we tuck her in and close the door. That usually prevents her from getting out of bed.
My son, on the other hand, loves to get up repeatedly. "I just have to tell you one more thing..." He is definitely in the stalling phase. We just put him right back to bed. My daughter did the exact same thing for awhile at this age, so I know that if we consistently put him back to bed it will get better.
