People just learning about odd place Scandinavian parents leave babies to nap in winter A Swedish woman has left people gobsmacked after sharing the strange place Scandinavian parents often leave their babies to nap.
Several studies have been done about the benefits of outdoor naps, including research from the Finnish National Centre for Biotechnology Information, which suggest children often take longer naps when sleeping outside in cooler temperatures than indoors.
"In Scandinavian homes and even in kindergartens, the kids actually sleep outside for nap times, in almost all kinds of weather," said Cecilia.
"The crisp fresh air of Nordic landscapes is thought to promote deeper and more restful sleep while exposure to natural light helps regular circadian rhythms, and enhancing overall sleep quality.
"It is very common to have to supply your school with an extra outdoor sleeping pram for your child so they can take their daily nap outside in temperatures all the way down to -25 degrees.".
