    Have you tried just waiting until he crashes? Thats what we do with Kataya. She doesn't ever sleep. She can outlast us all, and often, we fall asleep before she does. I just put a pillow and blanket on the living room floor, and lay on the couch, and she falls asleep...eventually. Its amazing how she at 4 can live off 5 hours sleep a night, night after night, and still function. When she was younger, Adam and I would take shifts because she we couldn't just fall asleep on her, Adam's a late nighter, and I am an early riser, so I would get up with her at 6AM, and Adam would stay up with her at night until 12 or 1AM. And it worked for us a lot of the time.~Shauna

    The important issue I think... besides getting sleep... is to not let Jacob rule the roost, and teach him good sleeping habits now. Bad sleeping habits now may not have any negative signs showing now, but in the future it can take a tole on many areas of one's life.
