Frequently Asked Questions
Is the nap timer silent by default?

What nap lengths are preset?
Power twenty and standard forty-five minute options match many childcare schedules.
Can I play sleep sounds?
Optional soft loops mask noise; keep volume low near microphones.
How should we wake children?
Use gentle voice and lighting when the timer ends rather than sudden alarms.
