naptime

Preschool quiet hour

Naptime is a scheduled period for sleep, especially for young children in the afternoon.

Daycare centers and preschools build naptime into daily routines.

The word evokes childhood and can be used playfully by adults: I need a naptime after that meeting.

Also spelled as two words: nap time.
