Even the ones who don't sleep enjoy the quiet time and I think it helps to recharge their batteries. I use that time to get a drink and sit down in total quiet!
Maza, I would tell your parent that you will 'try' to fit in with their routine, but remind them that you do have other children to fit in with as well. Would it work bringing all the sleep times slightly earlier and trying to get them all at the same time?
