Exactly! Quiet time is the one time of day that I know I'll be able to SIT to eat something, drink a cup of HOT coffee, and prep/plan. It is absolutely necessary for everyone. Even the kids who don't sleep benefit greatly from a quiet time where they aren't dealing with everyone else, and we can all enjoy our own space.

Days that my infant doesn't nap (the only one I can't reason with, lol) are hard because I'm so 'touched out' by the end of it that I'm not the best wife to my husband or mother to my own children. I have to consider my own personal life, as well as those of my families.
