Coffee before a nap changed everything, I was so wrong
I used to laugh at the idea of caffeine before sleeping, but after a friend in Portland swore by it, I tried a small cup 20 minutes before my 30 minute nap last Tuesday. Woke up way more alert than any plain nap I've had this whole year. Has anyone else had success with this, or did my body just trick me?
My buddy Mike tried this last month during a brutal stretch at work. He's the type who falls asleep in the middle of a sentence, so I figured he'd be useless after a coffee nap. But he nailed it. Woke up talking about his dreams about spreadsheets and then ran a 5k after work. Now he swears by it, keeps a little espresso cup on his nightstand like a weirdo. So either you're both wired differently or we're all missing something.
