Napping could improve your toddler's ability to learn
US researchers have found midday naps can help pre-school children remember what they learned that morning.
Children who went without a midday sleep did worse on memory tests than those who napped. Those who napped saw no change in their morning score of 75%, but the ones who stayed awake fared worse, with an average score of 65%.
Researchers are warning carers and nurseries that phase out midday naps may be disrupting the way children’s brains store memories and harming children's ability to learn.
