Summary

Here is a concise summary of the text:

**Title:** "The Last to Fall Asleep Challenge"

** Premise:** A parent, driven by desperation, attempts to get their family (kids: Noah and Mila, and her husband) to sleep by escalating a series of unconventional methods, from a "Last to Fall Asleep" challenge to:

1. **Extreme Activity** (drill sergeant workout)
2. **Relaxation** (sound bath with a specialist named Sugar)
3. **Counting Sheep** (literally, with real sheep)
4. **Hypnosis**
5. **Soothing Music** (violinist)
6. **Warm Milk**
7. **Steam Room with Essential Oils**

**Outcome:**

* None of the methods work initially, until...
* Reading a simple book together ("How to Be a Big Sister") unexpectedly succeeds in calming the family, leading to sleep.

**Takeaway:**
The parent learns that sometimes, simplicity is the most effective solution, and the husband gains a new appreciation for the challenges of bedtime.
