There's More to Nap Time Than Meets the Eye
PGX is reading about nap time: parents, there's a lot more to napping than you think!
Avoid the cranky afternoon tantrums and enjoy an afternoon siesta...
Is it too early to be thinking about nap time? Maybe it's because I didn't have my coffee yet. I'm trying not to wake up and need the coffee first thing in the morning to function pleasantly. But then, I sit down to work, hear my dog snore and wish I could join in the sleepy chorus! If only nap time was mandatory for adults!
Parents, there's more to nap time than just a break from chasing energetic toddlers and a quiet house. The New York Times shares some interesting research: napping is a complex function of biology, cultural expectations and family dynamics!
Sounds complicated doesn't it? Let's put it this way, aside from being helpful for your peace of mind, it's a necessity for your growing child.
Happy snoozing!
