HealthThat’s the conclusion of researchers who presented their research this week in Seattle at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.Their study did not specifically address why some children stop napping soon after their 4th birthday, lead author Dr. Brian Crosby, from Pennsylvania State University, University Park, said in an email interview with Reuters Health.”I can tell you anecdotally that the families of non-napping children have various reasons why their children are no longer napping. because they don’t nap, or are unable to settle down for naps because they are more hyperactive, irritable, etc. This is something important to sort out in future research.”"However, it is possible that napping is important for optimal daytime functioning in children at this period of development.”For now, he recommends that pediatricians ask parents if their preschool-age children are napping or not, and to consider this along with total sleep time and sleep quality when considering problems with sleep and/or daytime functioning. Health. –(Business Wire)–ExpertSource: TOPIC:The Associated Press reports that charitable giving by Americans fell by 2percent in 2008, only the second year to year decline in more than 50 years. Theannual survey, which is conducted by the Giving USA Foundation, found thatsocial-service charities were particularly hard hit as they experienced a 12.7percent drop in donations. “We definitely did see belt-tightening,” said DelMartin, chair of the Giving USA Foundation.

“This drop in giving meant thatnonprofits have had to do more with less over the past year, but it could havebeen a lot worse.” Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, notedthat most groups were faring adequately until the last quarter of2008–traditionally a time of year when donations go up. This trend is expectedto continue in 2009 and is compounded by a “soaring” demand for services.
