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?

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

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 38 minutes ago

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....

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

Prepping for DUI checkpoints?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

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

I cheated, was pretending to be sleeping.

[–] Stosh@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I slept all my time

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

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

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

[–] scott@lemmy.org 8 points 7 hours ago

During puberty, youth undergo a shift in their circadian clocks that makes it harder for them to fall asleep until later in the night. Meanwhile, they can stay awake longer before experiencing an increase in the pressure to sleep

More to the original point, you don't need a bunch of scientists with lab coats and clipboards to tell you teenagers don't sleep well on an early schedule, you could just ask one. Not to mention the homework load etc....

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 hours ago

I was one. Most of the time I was awake late because I thought there was more important shit to be done. I definitely could've gone to bed earlier.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] scott@lemmy.org 3 points 7 hours ago

Teachers are mostly just kind people doing there best and I meant no implication to the contrary. The school system is fucked though and making kids lose sleep is part of it.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 9 points 21 hours ago

It's more of a concept now.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] Xanvial@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours 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 16 hours ago

But then they work until like 6pm at least
