Sharing a room

My two have been sharing a room since the Earthquake and us moving but ever since daylight savings Jack has been keeping Caprece awake. Thye play for hours and don't go to sleep until 9pm when they were going to bed around 730 pre daylight saving. Does anyway with kiddies sharing a room have any advice to stop the disruption or is it worth splitting them up? They really do not want to sleep in separate rooms but this two hour bed routine is driving me crazy

I had J and T together as well. It was horrendous. i used to come in and they would have stripped the bed and be sing the mattresses as slides - not just once during the night, but two or three times. we ended up splitting them up and trying again when they were older - same thing occred. Jake needs his sleep, but taine seems to need less. they have JUST started sharing again and it is going well. We have their room and a playroom - so taine wanders over to the playroom and amuses himself while Jake sleeps. then Taine goes back into his room later on when he's tired. no tips really.

Have you got blockout curtains?

We have blockout material velcroed to the window frame to eliminate all light. This helps calm things down immensely.

They're currently going through a phase of wanting the door left open when going to sleep so a few threats of shutting the door will normally help calm things down.
