Hey Steemian Your Eyes Are Bloodshot, Go Take A Coffee Nap!
Like this guy:
lol. I know it sounds counter intuitive(for my redneck friends out there that means "don't make no sense") but the science behind it is sound.
Reseachers have found that taking a Coffee Nap is significantly more effective than just taking a nap OR drinking coffee alone.
How it works
Well, I don't know for sure how it works but what you do is drink a cup of coffee. (Sorry Brits, except @c0ff33a lol..tea won't work, not enough caffeine)
You drink it fast.
Because it takes just 20 minutes for the caffeine to make it into your brain. So you need to sleep fast! You put your head down and try to take a nap.
Like this guy:
Hopefully not lying on your desk like this lady(lol):
When I read this I thought shoot! No way I can just fall asleep whenever I want to. But even if you relax and attain a half-sleep state it still does you alot of good.
The benefits are quite remarkable with dramatic increases in alertness and memory.
Lots of testing has been done comparing regular naps, coffee and Coffee Naps and the people taking Coffee Naps slaughter the others in memory testing.
In fact, it's so effective that companies are starting to have team Coffee Naps to keep production at the highest levels:
lol..no I'm just teasing about that but I think it might be a good idea. So there ya go. Now you know how to rejuvenate yourself when you hit that wall in the middle of the afternoon.
If you have a hard time drinking a whole cup of hot coffee fast you can drink an expresso or iced coffee. But coffee's the thing man, what would we do without it?
Thanks for reading folks, God bless you all!

I have never heard of a coffee nap. If it can make you sleep like you have shown in these pictures, then bring on the coffee. : )
haha! You should try this Butterfly, and let us know what happens. Can you fall asleep on cue, like real fast?
You always want me to be the guinea pig for you. LOL! No, I can't fall asleep on cue, can you? When I was 3 years old and up until I was 16 years old, I would fall asleep in the car before it was driven out of the driveway though. I could never stay awake in a car. I know, I am strange. LOL!
lol! I've heard of parents putting their kids to sleep by driving but not teenagers! lol. No, I can't fall asleep on cue, I usually can't fall asleep in the day time period. That's okay to be strange though, normal is pretty boring!
I'll be back soon...looks like I need to get a nap in!!!
lol! Do you get sleepy in the afternoons sir simms50? I sure do, luckily I don't work in an office job, I'd be sleeping on the keyboard.
Sometimes I do...I get up and move around, that helps some!
You're not an accountant are you? That job would put me to sleep so fast! lol. I guess you probably shouldn't sleep at your desk though.
No, not an accountant but you are right that would put me to sleep!
Me too, that takes a special kind of person! I'm a little dyslexic when it comes to numbers, Mrs. J does all the math!
Nope. Wouldn't work for me. I simply do not like coffee!
That is because you aren't putting enough Irish cream in the cup first!
:)>lol..yeah Irish cream makes everything taste good!
So very true, in proper quantity, LOL!
BTW, Your friend is back....
:)>*Are you still harrassing my friend over there on my other post? lol.
It's so easy, LOL! No one has apparently ever told him to kiss off....
They talk violence, but are not any real danger. So the puppy growls, and gets smacked on the nose with a news paper, ROFLOL!
:)>lol! I don't think he'd like you calling him a dog! But that is too funny.
He got mad when I called him a cockroach, hit too close to home I guess....
:)>Even then, yuck!
ROFLOL! You are putting in too many drops of coffee then....
:)>Ahhh! Now I see what I've been doing wrong!
Now THAT's a coffee break, LOL!
:)>oh, I see. That's probably rare but I don't know what the stats are on that. Do you drink tea?
I do drink tea... nice and strong! My kids are coffee drinkers and they often try to get me to enjoy coffee with various additives, and even when it's half milk I still don't like it! I don't even like coffee flavored chocolates.
Ok well there's something definitely wrong with you in that area so we'll just accept it and move on. lol. No, it is a strong taste so I can see why some people don't like it. I should drink more tea, I think it has to be better for you.
Many things are wrong... This is only one of many!
lol! Well I'm not going to start comparing "wrong" things because I think I could bury you but I so appreciate your humility! lol.
!COFFEEA 10 sounds like a good idea 😝

I think it's worth a try sir enginewitty, thanks for the COFFEEA!
That cat looks like how I feel at 3:00 in the afternoon!
lol! Oh then you are a perfect candidate for the Coffee Nap! Can you fall asleep fast?
Who did they do all the testing on? A bunch of millennials?;) When you get to my age there ain't no time for napping. So much still to do and times a-wastin'!
lol! They probably did do the testing on mellennials. One of the test results were from a test the Japanese were doing so I have no idea who they would use. Hey, if you can't spare 20 minutes for a nap then you're working too hard! That's where I'm at though, I never take time for a nap! lol. Can you fall asleep on cue though? That would be my problem, probably because I never take naps.
Very Interesting...🤔...!!!
@janton.
I guess I've been doing it all wrong.
Lol...!!
I drink coffee to fight off the urge to take a nap during the day.
I definitely don't have an on and off switch. I often wish I did.
:)
Howdy annephilbrick! Me neither, about the switch. I don't know if I could fall asleep on cue like that but apparently there are many people who can or they wouldn't be able to test it! I have fallen asleep right after having some coffee though so I guess I was doing it without trying!
I need one

lol! I could use one everyday to sir fredkese!
Thank you so much sir c0ff33a!
Hahaha... So cute!! Okay, I'm going to bed now...
lol! howdy joelai! I know you are a big coffee lover but can you fall asleep fast? This might be perfect for you!
Drinking coffee to me is like drinking warm milk like others to go to sleep, I sleep like a baby...
oh! howdy joelai! So it sounds like you are already doing this, that's remarkable. You are saying that you take naps?
Well, I do sleep very well after a cup of coffee, does that count? Hehe
Well joelai, according to the article I read you can only take a nap for 15 to 20 minutes after drinking the coffee or else you will go into too deep of a sleep and be more tired. Do you take short naps?
I don't take short naps, my naps usually 2-3 hours or else I will have a massive headache! I know I'm weird!
Wow! 2-3 hours, that is very unsual but hey if that keeps you going strong the rest of the day then that's great!
