We have sleep rules and the kids take a stone to bed for each rule. So, each time they don't follow a rule, we take a stone. With DS, we had a surprise for every morning he had all three stones. For DD, the idea of losing a stone was enough to keep her in bed. We used stones because they had no inherent value like a book, doll, or other lovey. It works for us, and we only use it when "the natives get restless". In your case, I'd give each boy the stones, and take them from the one who is egging the younger one on.
Good luck! Sleep stuff really is my personal hot button, and this was a way to diffuse the situation in our house.
Oh! just in case, our sleep rules are-
1. Stay in bed.
2. Stay very quiet.
3. Go to sleep.
