5.Coffee Nap: Experts propose consuming caffeine right before taking a 15–20 minutes nap, not before bed though, as drinking coffee before sleeping for a short period of time affects adenosine which is a chemical that promotes sleep and increases brain’s capacity to receive caffeine. A coffee nap prevents sleep inertia, a state of drowsiness and disorientation which occurs when one wakes up during slow-wave sleep and results in increased energy and alertness upon waking up if one does not go overboard with their caffeine consumption.(Photo by Daniel Lincoln on Unsplash)
