What makes a child nap? Most parents cherish toddlers’ naps as moments of respite and recharging, for parent and child alike; we are all familiar with the increased crankiness that comes when a nap is unduly delayed or evaded. But napping behavior has been somewhat taken for granted, even by sleep scientists, and napping problems have often been treated by pediatricians as parents’ “limit-setting” problems.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun has gone, and the darkness comes along, then you shine your little light. Twinkle, twinkle all the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!

When I yawn I feel so strange With little prickles in my brain. My eyes begin to slowly weep It makes me really want to sleep. And then my mouth opens large Wide enough to fit a barge. And once I'm done I feel refreshed Unless at night when I need rest.
