I nap my baby in the bright living room but the naps are short. Does a bright room mess up her daytime sleep routine?

Daytime naps are naturally shorter than nighttime sleep — this alone isn't a problem. About bright light's effect on baby naps: melatonin (sleep hormone) needs darkness, so bright conditions can make deep sleep harder. But light during day naps also helps baby learn the day-night difference. A balanced approach: dim the light when she's falling asleep, then open curtains once she's awake. This supports both sleep quality and circadian rhythm development. If naps stay very short and fussy after 2-3 weeks, you can ask your pediatrician.
