Caffeine may give you a ‘lift’ because the body reacts as though you are stressed – not natural. Power nap is best but the problem is the ‘authority-type’ person around.(lol)

I’ve heard of this and tried it. But I am always caffed up so I don’t think it’s going to work for me. To others, have fun.

I remember reading about the particular efficacy of having coffee immediately /BEFORE/ a power nap. The idea is that the nap takes effect while the caffeine still has yet to fully enter your system — so you wake up fully juiced, and don’t consciously notice the ramp-up effect.

Note: they used 200mg of caffeine for the study

Only problem is that a power nap doesn’t fit well on the DEATH BY CAFFIENE tool!!!

I believe it though. But for everyone not wanting to take a powernap.

Too bad I can’t force myself to instantly fall asleep, especially at work.
