Exactly what I was thinking! My DS6 says "I just can't turn my brain off to go to sleep!" So we let him have books, math workbooks, a journal and pencil in bed. He seems to actually fall asleep faster with all of those things than if we don't allow him to bring anything to bed. He is such a talker also, so I bought him a voice recorder and he brings that to bed sometimes too. It gives him something to do to wind himself down.
