Tie your hand behind your back, put duct tape over your mouth.

Have you tried applying something particularly foul tasting or really spicy to the thumb, so that you won't desire to have it in your mouth?
Also, try sleeping with gloves, mittens, or full hand (no separate thumb) mitts on your hands. That will either make the thumb less appealing or completely prevent you from being able to get it in your mouth.
Good luck!

You are going 2 think I'm crazy but.... When you go to sleep at night right before you go 2 bed put some tabasco sauce on your figers and let it dry. when you go to put your thumb in your mouth you won't anymore because it will taste nasty.

Put your thumb up your butt before you go to bed. If you start sucking your thumb after that, theres no help for ya....

There is this stuff called Mavala that shold help. It is a special nail polish you put on your thumbs and it taste super bad, but is not bad for you. Not sure where to get it, but it is in Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000YUXI0/102-5233012-8348129?v=glance&n=3760901

Your Dentist can make an apparatus and place it in your mouth which will keep you from sucking your thumb.
