Sleep Wheel
The chart below shows how a typical infant’s waking time increases as he grows older. The pie chart represents a 24-hour day for the child at different ages.
The dark slices are sleeping periods and the light slices are wakeful times. Notice that the naps not only become fewer and farther apart, but are pushed over into the nighttime hours, leaving only the afternoon nap by age four.
