nap schedule
Planned rest times
A nap schedule is a planned routine for when a child—usually an infant or toddler—sleeps during the day.
Parents and caregivers use nap schedules to establish predictable rest periods: We're trying to get her on a nap schedule.
The term occasionally applies to adults who nap deliberately: His nap schedule revolves around his shift work.
