Talk about a restless night's sleep!

A weary mother of twins shows how bedtime's a game of cat and mouse in her household in a comical new time-lapse video.

Henriette Jonassen, 21, from Norway, filmed herself trying to get her three-year-old boys, Leon and Nathaniel, to nap in the summer heat, with little success.

Footage captures her putting one child to bed before the other peeps his head out from the door of an adjoining room. Over and over she goes back and forth to tend to each child, with the same sequence repeating.

Sneaky: Footage shows her putting one child to bed before the other peeps his head out from the door of an adjoining room - Over and over she goes back and forth to tend to each child with the same sequence repeating

At one point one of the mischievous children clambers out of bed while she is next door and closes the door on her before toddling off.

Eventually Ms Jonassen pulls a chair up and sits in-between both bedrooms in a bid to stop the boys from escaping.

After much toing and froing, Leon and Nathaniel are finally seen sleeping at the end of the video.

Ms Jonassen said she's been struggling to get her twins to sleep for a few weeks now due to 'extremely hot weather and long, sunny days' and has been experimenting with different techniques.

Feeling the heat: Ms Jonassen said she's been struggling to get her twins to sleep for a few weeks now due to 'extremely hot weather and long, sunny days' and has been experimenting with different techniques

Usually the boys share a room but a friend suggested she should try separating them to keep their sleep in check.

Pretty uncertain the method wouldn't work, she decided to film it.

Indeed, her intuition proved correct.

'I just thought I'd try something different for a few days, and it turned out to be a bad idea,' she said.

When the weather returns to normal she will go back to her usual routine of getting the boys to bed which involves singing songs and tickling their backs. 

Usually they are in a deep slumber within 30 minutes.
