I told my kids to pretend to sleep, that I couldn't tell if they were really sleeping or not, so they could trick me by just pretending, laying still with their eyes closed, that was fine, as long as I couldn't tell they were awake.
They of course ended up asleep but I never mentioned that.
Like anyone, actually being tired helps a lot too. Exhaust them in the daytime.
That's adorable
