My kids do not want to sleep?

I have two beautiful daughters who are 4 and 2. I love being a mother more than anything in this world, but I am kinda draggin really bad here lately. My daughters do not want to sleep at all. They stay up til like 4 oclock in the morning, and then want to get up at like 8. Four hours of sleep doesnt' seem like enough for kids their age. I can't figure out what to do. I usually try to clean house after they go to bed, which means I only get about two or three hours of sleep. I have no one to watch them for me so I can rest. I need someone to give serious and helpful answers PLEASE!!!!

Answers:
kids just go through phases like this....if they are active healthy kids then there is not much you can do....all my kids have gone through this different hours for each of them..we just had to get them on a schedule....it may be hard considering they are used to going to bed at those hours but you have to try to get them on one...for children their age they should be sleeping anywhere between 13-16 hours of sleep....that's counting a nap not a full nights sleep..but that's not to say kids dont sleep that through the night some of my kids did and it was wonderful for my wife....hope things get better with the girls
