The effects of naps on the infant brain.

"Morning naps tend to be rich in the type of sleep which has proven to play an important role in brain maturation. Afternoon naps tend to be important in reducing levels of cortisol, the hormone linked with stress." Excerpt from, sleep solutions for your baby, toddler and preschooler, written by Ann Douglas.
I appreciate the thoroughness of Ms. Douglas's research. Maybe I will make a fan site for her. In particular I am enjoying the 'no-crying' solutions of this book.
