All 7 of mine sleep with either us or my mom. They all sleep too! We never let them "play" on the bed. Even when they're young, "play-time" and "sleep-time" mean two different things. You have to be stern with them at first. They want to jump all over your head, lick your face, pull your hair, and just play!! But one stern "NO PLAYING ON THE BED", and mine all settle down and sleep. Believe me, if they didn't, I could never let all 7 of them up there at the same time! Of course, when it's time to get up, it's DEFINTELY time to get up!! My hubands clock goes off and they know it's time. But it' worth every second of it! If we go out of town for one night, I have a hard time sleeping without all my kids. Wintertime is great. They all like to snuggle.
Good luck.
