Coffee naps 🤔 gonna try it someday
😀👍
Interesting fact! Would be helpful if you add the source of the research as well🙌
Drinking coffee before a nap? Sounds a little counterintuitive, doesn’t it?
Caffeine naps are the latest evolution. When you feel drowsy and your eyelids begin to close right after that heavy lunch – instead of gulping down a cup of coffee or taking a 20-minute power nap – try a caffeine nap.
The concept?
To drink a cup of coffee and then take a 20-minute nap.
It takes at least 20 minutes for the caffeine to kick into your system – giving you enough time to re energise with a quick 20-minute nap.
How does this work?
Well, when the caffeine enters your system, it takes at least 20 minutes for its effects to start showing. When you feel tired your body produces adenosine. When you sleep – your body begins getting rid of this adenosine – and gulping down a cup of coffee before this helps boost your energy levels.
According to research conducted in the 1990s, drinking a cup of coffee after a midday nap can increase concentration, performance skills, and cognition compared to taking a nap alone.
In their conclusion, the researchers stated that "the combination of a nap and caffeine was more effective in maintaining alertness and performance than was the nap alone."
Hence by using both the components of a power nap and a coffee kick - you wake up alive and kicking!
