I know a child nearly kicked out of day care for not napping. It happens.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Maybe I'd be too, dunno, spent 2/3 of childcare sick at home xD

I cheated, was pretending to be sleeping.

[–] Stosh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I slept all my time

I never liked naps so I’d lay there pretending to be asleep but I was secretly learning the alphabet backwards.

The teachers thought I was dyslexic

Prepping for DUI checkpoints?

I hate napping as an adult, but back then? Nap time slapped.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

I am the exact opposite. Never able to nap as a kid, but at 40 naps are the tits!

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 4 points 15 hours ago

i couldn't count past twenty until I was around 5 years old, but the moment I figured the system out I knew I had found something more important to do during naptime than sleeping

Similar for me but instead i was counting seconds and calculating power of twos, both of which they found really creepy. My mom came to pick me up once and this was hungary so the nurses had no idea what numbers i was saying and they asked my mom what the numbers were and she was already used to it that point and just answered power of twos. After that the staff thought my whole family was insane. Thankfully i was a gifted kid which means i excelled academically until 8th grade where i burned out completely and since have done nothing productive in my life....

It's more of a concept now.

Depriving teenagers of sleep is a form of abuse, intended to teach them to accept the abuse to their body that a job will likely do later in life. Don't be accepting of it. Don't let them tell you obedience is right.

Just fucking go to bed earlier lol

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

Oh yeah, come home from school, do homework, go to bed, go to school. Repeat for years. It's not like people need free time in their lives or anything, certainly not during one of the most stressful deveplomental staged there is.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Duuuuude, you're talking as if all teachers are in on this conspiracy theory just to make sure we all become slaves.

IDK about any preschool I went, if I ever did, but kindergarten never had that, from what I recall. I attribute that to the class being a half day so they could fit 2 classes in per day. Small school, what can I say?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Have you tried hunt to bed at 10pm and getting 8 hours of sleep

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't that thing in Japan? Be nice to have nap time at work.

[–] Xanvial@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a thing in China, usually after lunch to around 2 pm, most even use camp beds for it

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

But then they work until like 6pm at least
