My DD pretty much only had 45 min naps until about 5 months. It drove me crazy. I resorted to wrapping her, then rocking her to sleep, and I would sit on the couch with her for 2 hours at a time. If I tried to put her down, she always woke! People always told me I was making a rod for my back and spoiling her, but she happily settles in her cot and has done for some time now. And like you said, somehow she knew when it was night, and just went straight to sleep with no issues.
So I am a big advocate of the cuddle, I think it works wonders (for big people too!). And remember hun, this too shall pass.
