    Nap. CALS learn to nap

    I read once that a full night of uninterrupted sleep is a modern concept. In days gone by you rose during the night to check the house, people, animals, etc. I would assume walking around in the cold with a candle stick would wake anyone. CALS learn early on to take naps whenever and...

    Well for starters I found this website in a state of my panic and have read others threads about similar symptoms in a search for reassurance. I have been very apprehensive about posting here because I know a lot of people are probably just overexcited or scared and have convinced themselves...
