Our little guy is two and our routine for a while has been books, lots of cuddles, and the lullaby Beatles (he asks for it). Definitely try and have wind down time before bed to get him sleepy.
Try and have as much patience as possible, because they will feed off that, and same with the opposite, they'll feed off your frustration and then every thing just gets harder.
Good luck, and remember, he's only one and going through so many changes and learning SO much everyday. Don't expect to much from him, and know his intentions aren't to make you pull your hair out
