dog naps
Steals a toy
Dog naps are brief periods of light sleep taken during the day, shorter and less restful than a full nap.
The term evokes how dogs doze frequently in short bursts rather than sleeping deeply for extended periods: I caught a few dog naps between meetings.
Sometimes spelled as one word: dognaps.
