Love and Logic is great and has helped us in this area. We ask our daughter "do you want your door open or closed" and she says 'open'. Then we say, "I will be happy to leave the door open as long as you stay in your bed." The first time she gets out of bed the door is shut. "I will be happy to open the door once you are asleep" We open it when we go to bed. This has worked great for both girls...We have not had a big issue with this using this technique consistently. We make sure we have gone potty, gotten a drink, have our lovey, etc. before we get in bed to read books. After books, we say a prayer and tuck in. Our loveys are also only for bedtime so my girls look forward to cuddling with their lovey at nap and night time. On the days we are being challenging, we take the lovey away and tell them that the lovey needs sleep too and can't rest when you get out of bed. That has not happened much at all. Hope this helps.
