naptimeprotocol
/ˈnæptaɪmˈprəʊtəkɒl/nounVerified NewAlso in: Mittagsschlafprotokoll (Deutsch) · siestocolo (Español) · siestocole (Français)
The sacred operating window of the afternoon nap, during which the household moves in silence and fear.
The naptimeprotocol suspends dishwashing, doorbells, and one staircase step that everyone knows. Visits are deferred with whispered apologies; the phone is set to a silence that has never failed. The protocol holds for exactly the nap's duration, and its breach is remembered for weeks by all parties.
Etym. — nap time + protocol — the security procedures of the sleeping hour.
