im starting to make little sleep boxes its a shoe box with a lid that can be decorated however you like, in the box can be a few different things, like a hand held mirror, a dim torch, a little book or some scrap silky material or whatever your child may like. This is supposed to allow the child something to do instead of lying in bed trying to fall asleep. you can vary the things in the box every other day or week. when the child has had enough they can then roll over and go to sleep. of course the things in the box would vary due to age. i have not tried this myself yet but alot of educators through my family day care are using with day naps and are having success

just an idea ...
