It's currently 26° which is warm as far as the rest of the week went. We were in the single digits since last weekend!

... this sounds interesting, I might have to give it a try.

The Magical Powers of a "Coffee Nap"
Quote
While my day always starts with a coffee, I never thought I’d be pouring a dark, icy cold brew at 1 p.m. on a Thursday, especially before a nap. The whole concept of a “coffee nap” seems weird to me. Naps are all about falling asleep. Coffee is all about waking up. And yet there I was, downing caffeine as I simultaneously climbed into bed and set my alarm.

A coffee nap — a topic with over 14.2 million posts on TikTok — is when you drink a cup of joe before taking a quick snooze. It’s a go-to trick amongst doctors and nurses who are on the clock for 24 hours, but it’s also helpful for work-from-homers who can’t keep their eyes open in the afternoon, as well as anyone else who needs a quick reset.

The idea went viral after creator @livspeakman called it a “god-tier nap” in a 2023 TikTok.

The goal, she says, is to drink some coffee before lying down to rest. When you wake up 20 minutes later, that’s when the effects of the coffee will kick in. It’s like a one-two punch: You get the refreshing benefits of a perfectly-timed nap, as well as the extra dose of energy from your pumpkin spice latte. Here’s what to know about this coffee-fueled nap hack.

I've had coffee just before bed........then slept all night.  ;D

Am thinking if you drink a lot of coffee it may not work the same?

Maybe so.
In my case, I only have about 1/2 cup, or less, a day so it might work for me.

I used to do the same. But, I was never really a coffee drinker. It's probably been about 30 years since I've drank some and that was to help keep me warm because there wasn't any hot chocolate around. I used to drink tea a lot but even that was decaf. I've never needed it to get me up and going.
