In the infants school nursery (now called reception) class, we used to incredibly be put down for a nap in the afternoon.
Seriously, we would be sent out for play, then when we came back in, the desks were cleared away from the classroom, and they would have got out these fold away beds - and the classroom was full of beds.
At that age (Six year old IIRC), we used to have symbols next to our clothes pegs instead of our names - because most children can't read still - and these beds had blankets on with the same symbol we had next to our clothespegs, so we knew which one we had to get into.
Well what a mad thing that was. I never (unsurprisingly) went to sleep, but had to lie there, totally bored until it was waking up time again - and I can't remember how long this was, but it must have been at least half an hour.
I once got into trouble for lying there boredly singing "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" (Yes, it was the 70's) to myself. The teacher gave me a right prod for that.
Thank goodness "sleep time" was abolished a couple of years later in that school. I believe some parents complained because their children wouldn't go to sleep at night as a result of this nap.
And you tell kids nowadays this - do they believe you? Nope. They say to us "Next thing you'll be telling us you used to get milk at school, and the slipper if you misbehaved".
