At the age of four, their body is still quite capable of taking over when sleep is necessary. If the 4-year-old is laying down but not falling asleep during "rest time" on weekends, I would say he's doing just fine. My two cents is this is your guilt over not providing 24-7 fun (which is more than okay, children need to learn a work ethic) rather than something that's actually there to see.
