Oh I've done the turning off the monitor thing! Oh the things I said I'd never do before I was actually a parent . . .
I would probably be ok with singing and playing for quiet time. That way at least you know what she's up to in there.  Maybe I'd draw the line at yelling and jumping on the bed. I suspect it's more the "alone time" aspect of it that helps a toddler rejuvinate. Time when I'm not hanging over her head saying "do you need to go potty?" or trying to engage her in "structured play". Just my thoughts.
