'Go the (Blank) to Sleep': A Bedtime Reality (WSJ)
But the topic, getting kids to sleep, puzzles me too. Our children, now 43 and 42, where NEVER a problem at bedtime, which was about 7 p.m. After supper, we kept things very low key, read quiet stories, gave them a warm bath, said prayers, sometimes played records (remember those?) and listened to their concerns of the day. I used to listen to horror stories of bedtime, and scratch my head. It was one of the most pleasant hours of the day at our house.

Well, you were just lucky. I did the low-key routine, but one of my daughters was difficult for a few years, while the other always fell asleep easily -- and stayed asleep.
Yes, I suppose it depends on the child, but in everything else they were polar opposites.
