That's great advice, our struggle is our own routines too. My wife is a nurse and I work a few jobs. One being Emergency Management and often deployed to situations.
We don't have routines ourselves as it is shift work, or if work is busy then work hours are long. We try to maintain dinner time at the same time each day for stability.
But it has been very hard
Wow, yeah, you guys have hectic lives, don't listen to a guy that has his own timetable.
Also, the other thing that works that I completely forgot, the bath routine just before the bed time. It does marvels. A little bed time story, a kiss on the chick, et voila!!!
Yeah bath time a little while before bed seems to do a pretty good job of getting them down.
