Hi, are they in their own area so that you can get some sleep?

Yoshi was about 6wks when we got him and he didn't know how to lay down and sleep. He'd keep running until he was wobbly and I'd hold him still until he fell asleep. It usually only took a few minutes and then he'd sleep for a few hrs. He'd stay asleep if I had to put him in his bed. I'm not sure how you do that with 4 of them.

Will they settle down if you put them in a carrier? Then open the door when they are asleep so they can get out to the litter box. Maybe put them in the bathroom with their litterbox, water, and bed. Just remove anything that could be a toy.

What are your plans for the kittens?

Yes, young kittens are crazy high energy, they do not start to slow down until 4 months old and start sleeping more at 7 months old. My 10 month old kitten has the same energy level of my almost 2 year old boys now which is nice.
