Not having the dogs in the same room as you while you sleep would be a big advanytage. Is there anywhere you can shut them away. The might yowl for a bit but stick it out and don't go to them untul you're ready in the morning. (Even if you have to wear earplugs!)
Dogs are like children. They need boundaries, space boundaries and behaviour boundaries.
Our dog sleeps downstairs in a cage. It's a big cage and it's his. His turf, his territory, his den, his safe place. We don't have to force him into it. In fact he'll often ask to go in there before we're ready for bed. Once in - about 11 p.m. he stays there until 7 or 8 a.m.
