I agree with everything here, and generally I do allow myself enough sleep. I'm also very strict about it with my kids - well, I was until they hit their mid-teens. Then, I have to trust the lessons I've taught them will hold them through, even though they may have to get into their twenties before they learn Mom Was Right. Heh.
