the youngest 5 out of my 7 kids have this weird habit of falling asleep during the day in odd places. I'll be in the kitchen, and 3 of them will run through screaming/playing tag, whatever, and 5 min, later i'll go into the living room and down the hall, and one is under the cofee table, one is in the bathtub, and the other is on the bottom stairs, all fast asleep. 5 min. later they are all running around again, when i get back to the kitchen, one of them is fast asleep on the kitchen counter.they are like this all day, hyper, asleep, hyper, asleep. i wouldn't mind if they slept in their beds when they got tired, but underneath the dining room table? they won't even sleep on the couch, behind the couch, but not on the couch. i've tried talking to them, threatening them, punishing them, and nothing works. the 5 who do this are ages 5, 6, 6, 8, & 9. the oldest 2 ages 12 & 13 sleep often to, but they sleep in their beds. any ideas on how to get them out of this habit?
