One nap doesn't fit all: How childcare's link to napping flips with age

A well-napped child is a cheerful and happy child. In a world where both parents have to work, most children spend their first five years attending childcare, right around the time they transition from regular daytime naps to sleeping through the night. A recent study published in Sleep Medicine investigated whether attending childcare changes the number of times a child naps on that day compared with days spent at home, and how that relationship shifts as children grow older.
