naptimes
Scheduled sleep periods
Naptimes are the periods set aside for napping, especially for young children.
The word evokes schedules and routines: The daycare has strict naptimes.
Parents and caregivers structure days around naptimes, and disrupting them is widely dreaded: We can't stay—it's almost naptime.
