Dark or daylight for daytime naps?

Question

What do you all do for daytime naps? Let the daylight in or black out as much as possible? I've heard to always make it dark & also to let it be daylight so they know the difference between night sleep & day sleep.

Answer

I keep it bright and continue to do things around the house from 8am-8pm then we turn the lights out and calm the house down and it help her figure out the difference of night and day pretty quick.

Answer

When my son naps, he gets his room bright and the radio on. Then I don't have to worry about him waking up for me doing any activity, but he also knows it's a daytime nap. At nighttime we have a fan setup, mainly because our apt is warm, and have the room dark with a small nightlight on (so that I don't have to turn the light on to feed or change him).

Answer

As long as you keep it light when baby is awake during the daytime, I think that’s the main key. Darkening the room during the nap should be fine, according to our sleep gurus.
