Yeah... what the others said - hunger and fatigue are huuuge triggers. And 2pm is definitely the sort of hour where those would hit.

Does she like movies/cartoons? You could always try starting a movie at 1:30pm... with a snack provided. It's not trying to make her sleep or nap, it's just a movie time where she can rest. If you're lucky, she might conk out sometimes! Especially as you've said that she has trouble and is resistent to going to bed at night.

Can I ask how your time-outs work? I forget. Like... do you ask her to go to her room, sit at the table, or what?
