Best sleeper train options

[Zontar]

I'm looking to do a summer break next year. I am keen on Paris - Milan and would like to do the most of the journey on a sleeper.

I understand thello no longer provide a service, so is it possible at all to do this as I can't find anything online. If not, I'm open to good easy sleeper train destinations from a Eurostar station. TIA

https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/ Suggests no for Milan, but that there are other options (mostly in southern Germany, Austria & Switzerland).

Munich is a good one from Amsterdam in Nightjet.

That's a great help, thank you.

Paris-Nice (couchette) is an option, or Munich- Milan (also rather a detour from Paris. From UK I'd do Brussels/Paris-Munich (much subject to engineering works) or Amsterdam-Innsbruck/Zurich.
But with a 6hr daytime journey P-M is borderline for a night train.

Good to know. I have young kids, so want to get as much done during the night as possible!

Are they going to stay asleep though?
