What is his schedule before bed. Cats like to hunt, eat, wash, sleep. So if you want to get him used to sleeping when you do, I would start about 30 minutes before bed with a vigorous interactive play session, really wear him out. Then feed him a small meal. he should then take a bath and settle in for a nap.
I also approach kitten biting the same way I do puppy biting. If I'm playing with him and he starts biting, I stop playing. ignore. walk away. If they are too wound up. A time out in another room. Just for five minutes will do it. Then initiate play with appropriate toys. They get too rough again, play ends, and so on. This has worked very well with Ninja, he was really bad about biting, but is much better now. Only forgets occassionally. Just make sure you are providing appropriate toys and play time to meet their physical need to "hunt"
