I used to tell my son that I didn’t care if he slept, as long as he stayed there during that time. He’d fall asleep on his toys. Mom needed that time to wind down from him, and get a few things done that I just couldn’t do with him underfoot.
I have always been a “Sleeper”. Only once did I not want to take a nap; we were at my grandparents, and had company I seldom saw, so I wanted to stay up and visit. My grandmother took me downstairs and showed me that everybody else was asleep, draped all over the furniture, etc. (Faking ,the whole lot of them.) So I went to bed.
And slept eighteen hours. It’s a good thing I wasn’t tired.
Mom told my pediatrician I didn’t nap unless ill. He didn’t believe her, thought I wasn’t napping enough. Actually she put me in my crib (yes, I was under 2) with quiet toys and I would play while she watched a soap opera. The moment the ending music started I called for her, and no sleeping-child imprints in the bedding. As an adult I have insomnia

as a child you hate them, but as an older adult you love them.

I don’t remember that far back, but so for now, I don’t necessarily love naps, but I sure do NEED them!
