How do I get my children to sleep?

I'm tired. My children won't sleep at night I would love to tell you that they need their sleep, and so I am on a noble quest, to help them. The truth is, I need to help me get some sleep, because they DON'T need their sleep. They are just fine without naps, and they don't want to go to bed at night either. Me, on the other hand, I am desperate for sleep, and I'm CRANKY. I guess in way it would be better for them, because then I would be a little more fun.

I tried baths, and routines, and punishment, and rewards. I can't find the magic formula yet. I don't think all of this trying matters much, because they just aren't tired. Yesterday, they were up at 7 am. They went for two walks, played all day, went swimming a couple of hours, and still at 8 could have played all night. I'm zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz.
