I can clearly remember having a canvas-covered frame like this for sleep time in my first year at school as a four-year-old in the UK. I don't remember having a blanket or cover of any kind though. This doesn't seem to happen with kids these days except in nursery facilities which is why my four-year-old goddaughter is always so tired by bedtime.

If you told me that this was Ron Howard as a kid, I wouldn't argue.

I suspect in just about every daycare, there is that one child who won't fall asleep during naptime.

I ask, because at my son's day care in Russia the kids sleep from noon to 3.

When I was in half-day afternoon kindergarten in 1953, we had nap time. However, we had to bring in our own rugs and sleep on the hardwood floor. One of the girls (probably a future hippie) brought in a bedspread, which resulted in commune-style napping.

I was having MY naptime in Harlingen!

Jazzy beds for a nap. At my kindergarten we had to sleep on plastic mats. I can still remember the smell.
