We all know that coffee is a proper way to get your morning going, but did you know that apparently, is also the key to a proper nap?!
Studies have shown that if you drink coffee immediately before napping and sleep for 20 minutes or less, your productivity will get a major boost!
According to CNBC, sleeping decreases the amount of adenosine, the chemical that makes you feel tired, in your brain and body.
Caffeine, which takes about 20 minutes to kick in, helps block adenosine. By napping for 20 minutes, you decrease the amount of adenosine in your system which gives the caffeine less of the chemical to compete with!
The studies have also recommended NOT drinking coffee as soon as you wake up as it can blunt your body’s natural energy levels, and choosing the right beans to drink, as the darker you roast the coffee, the more caffeine burns away.
