\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nIn conjunction with the SUN Traffic Committee, research students at Denver University have concluded that over one in every four drivers in the Stapleton community are simply driving around to put a child to sleep. For six months, researches counted cars over different areas of Stapleton over several different time periods. In the end, it is clear Stapleton parents use driving to put their children to sleep.\n\n\u201cWe looked at the data several different ways,\u201d says research director Jake Wharton. \u201cIt is definitely conclusive, but hardly surprising. There is a high percentage of infants in this neighborhood, as well as a high percentage of parents not willing to listen to them cry.\u201d\nLocal parent Jessica Siems admits she has used this tactic on several occasions. \u201cSometimes, our little one just won\u2019t go to sleep,\u201d says Siems. \u201cSo, we pack her in the car and drive around the hood until she falls asleep. It\u2019s a ten minute drive versus two hours of hell.\u201d\nChild specialist Kevin Miller says there is nothing wrong with doing this. \u201cEssentially, anything short of Nyquil and Benadryl are totally fine as long as it works,\u201d says Miller. \u201cOf course, you could let them cry themselves to sleep which is completely harmless as well, but who wants to do that.\u201d\nThere are no major implications of the study for Stapleton roads, but they are considering a small noise ordinance. \u201cWe may consider signs that simply say \u2018no honking\u2019 but not much more than that,\u201d says Forrest City spokesman Lee Weber. Signs would not be up until late May if they go up.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
