Abstract in brief

  • The study examines when children aged 0-12 years stop napping and finds that most children (94%) cease napping by age 5, while very few (less than 25%) stop before age 2.
  • Napping patterns are highly variable during the preschool years (around 3.5 to 6 years), indicating this is a key period for changes in sleep habits and influenced by different factors.
  • The research highlights the need for future studies to explore why individual differences in napping occur and whether napping patterns can serve as indicators of overall child development.]
