A common trick to make the kids rest in the afternoon when they are too old to accept the idea of a nap is to tell them they don't have to sleep, but just lie down quietly in the dark room for a short time. They often fall asleep in a few minutes even if they think they're not tired (and if they don't, probabily they don't need to rest).
Some people reported that this trick works even for tweens or teens, while for others it is useless.
Have you ever tried it and did it work?
EDIT: since maybe it is not clear, I'm talking about midday breaks at Disney, not toddlers napping at home.
