I consider a rest ok. Ash at the moment will some days decide not to sleep at all, I still put her down and leave her to rest. Yes she is a little crankier in the evening but a rest is better than nothing, I think at least she is having time out from stimulation can wind down for hour or so before she gets up again.
When my first born was 2 years old she wouldnt sleep at all in the day - just chat away in her cot. I called tresilian and the lady said the same - rest is as good as a sleep. Even now, she is 4 years old, she still has rest time - whether that be watching a good ole DVD , reading (or rather looking) at books on her bed, or just sitting on lounge with her mumma - its as good as a sleep i say.....
