Both children and adults may take naps, but there are usually differences in their nap habits. Newborns, infants, and toddlers require more sleep than adults, and it is common for them to have sleep periods during the day that supplement the sleep they get at night.  Babies may take one or more naps per day that can range between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on their age. Toddlers tend to take only one nap each day. Similar to adults, toddlers’ nap times should occur well before bedtime. Also like adults, children’s nap environments should be free of noise, excess light, or other distractions. Over time, children may reduce the time they spend napping or stop napping altogether.
