Hi L.,
My day also starts at 6 am and ends around 1:30am. I work full time as soon as my older children get home from school and dad comes home from work. So I really need a nap during the day. My almost 3 yo (in April) doesn't always like to nap. Usually she does but there are days that she doesn't. She understands that mommy needs to sleep. So she is allowed to play in her room but doesn't have to sleep if she doesn't want to, but she has to be quiet. Maybe if you explain it to your son as 'you and his sister have to nap not him' maybe he will be more understanding? Maybe you can put something in the door so that he can not slam it. EX: a facecloth over the door jam or something. Hope this helps some.
