Ever Heard Of A 'Coffee Nap'? It Could Make You Even More Productive And Energized!
A coffee nap is a short nap taken immediately after consuming caffeine to combine the benefits of rest and alertness, explained Dr. Keisha Sullivan, a pulmonologist and sleep specialist at Kaiser Permanente in Maryland.
According to Dr. Markus Ploesser, an integrative medicine physician at Open Mind Health with expertise in longevity and sleep, coffee naps typically last about 20 minutes.
“The idea is that by the time you wake up, the caffeine will have started to kick in, enhancing the nap’s refreshing effects,” he said. “Proponents claim that this combination can boost energy and alertness more effectively than either a nap or coffee alone.”
