DD hasn't had a regular day sleep since about 2.5, she will have one every now and then but basically we just have 'quiet time' instead where she has some down time with books.

6pm - Dinner
6:30 - Bath/PJs
7pm - Story
7-7:30 - Bed time

We let DD take a pile of books to bed with her and if she is not tired she will quietly 'read' the books on her own until she falls asleep. We put a little lamp next to her bed that she can turn on and off on her own and she loves that! Surprisingly the lamp doesn't keep her awake but helps her be more independant.
