Sleepy & an old lady.

Hi everybody!
One of my friendsl said to an old lady "Aren't you sleepy?"(because it was time for rest at noon,and most people in the hospital were sleeping, but the old lady kept walking around in the corridor over and over again ).
However ,her question angered the lady very much.And in the old lady's words ,she mentioned " babies......".
Can anybody tell me why the lady was so angry? Thanks a lot!
