A little help from my friends

You want to know what I didn't like when I was a kid? Sleepovers You want to know what I hated as a kid? Up all nighters. Why? Cause I LOVE me some sleep. Love, love. Which is probably why I find the newborn scene so absolutely soul sucking difficult. Dramatic much? YES. Because my mind is mush, my eyes are burning, and I have a "no sleep" headache that is killing me.
As you know I have 5 wonderful children. So no I can't sleep when the baby sleeps. I also have mounds of laundry, people that need fed, things that need clean....and so on. Naps are about impossible.
Here is where you all come in. I ask for your experience and help. What have you done to encourage your child to sleep more than say 1 hour at a time? Where did they sleep? How did they sleep? What did they wear? What did you chant over them? Details people.
And a sidenote...don't tell me that your child didn't start sleeping until they were 5. I know. My oldest was/is a horrible sleeper. But we are going to pretend that was a fluke and this darling will sleep. And don't tell me my baby slept from the night they got home from the hospital. Again, I have heard this phenomenon from friends and am simply speechless.
What do you think all?
Who is sleepy? Not I said the baby

silly mortal! Try to trick me with your rocking motion, lights, and music. Don't you know I am aware this is not mom's arms and therefore I will not sleep?

Even the pillowy soft material that mom would drool all over if it covered HER bed will  not work! I will stand firm.

1:30 you say? The night is young!

Look, I can't be this cute and sleep too.
