Ages 0-2: You take naps because it's just what kids that age do. And you need them.
Ages 3-4: You take naps because you mother makes you.
Ages 5-13: You don't nap. Naps are for babies.
Ages 14-45: Naps are your friends. You like naps.
Ages 46 and up: People expect you to sort of nod off occasionally. And you do.
