Why naptime at school? If parents are having trouble with their kids not falling asleep in the evening, wouldn't that either hurt (less tired kids) or be ineffective (kids can't fall asleep at school either)?
- anonymouskimmer 3y agoI guess first we have to figure out exactly why parents are giving their children melatonin. If it's for not falling asleep at a particular time, then a nap time may not help. If it's because the children appear to be tired in the morning, then a nap time might help. Children in general are growing, and need more sleep than adults. I don't know that it particularly matters how this sleep is distributed. I do know that my preschool had a naptime, and that I occasionally nodded off as an older kid on the school bus. I think extending naptimes from pre-school into later school years is an idea worth investigating.
