Amanda Peet Goes To Extremes For Daughter’s Bedtime Routine

Amanda Peet carries duct tape and navy sheets with her when she travels so that her daughter Frankie will sleep well.

During an appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman, Peet raved about how well her 2 year old daughter sleeps through the night and elaborated on the lengths she and husband David Benioff go to in order to keep it that way.

“My sister and her husband make fun of us all the time because we’re sort of like baseball players,” Peet said. “We have to … keep her surroundings exactly the same.”  That means using blackout shades and dark clothes, including “David’s sock and scarf to make it really, really dark.”

Peet joked that her friends say the layers of clothing hung on the windows make her and her husband “kind of seem like serial killers.”

But Amanda isn’t taking any chances of messing with her daughter’s perfect bedtime behavior.  She even carries supplies when the family travels to keep the pattern going.

“We go into a hotel room and unpack the duct tape and the navy sheets and proceed to attach them to the windows. I’m sure when the staff that works at these hotels come and see our room they think we’re nuts.”

Thank you, Amanda, for verifying what my friends and I have said for years:  Duct tape really is a mother’s best friend.
