To defend a child's nap window against doorbells, deliveries, and the good intentions of relatives.

To napshield is to meet the courier at the gate, sign on the wall, and wave the call to voicemail with a look. The shield is held for ninety minutes, silently, and then lowered with the gratitude of a nation. Napshielding is the household's most disciplined operation and is never once acknowledged by the sleeper.
