THE FUSE

You have tried all the methods: pick-up/put-down, drowsy-but-awake, leaving the room, just living with it, and sleep is still awful. You've tried adjusting wake windows, pushing bedtime back, everything the book, the blog, the well-intentioned friend said. And nothing has worked... at all. Bedtime is still a protracted circus while your sister's child drifts off in 10 minutes flat with no effort at all.
