Drink a cup of coffee THEN take a 20 minute power nap right after. Caffeine doesn’t clear the chemicals from the receptors that tell your brain you are sleepy. It DOES prevent those chemicals from binding for a while, so drink the coffee and immediately take a nap. Your body will clear up the Chema, and the caffeine will prevent the Chems still floating in your blood stream from making you tired again 20 minutes later
Just curious, how do you guys manage to do that? It can take me up to 2 hours just to fall asleep, unless I just woke up in which case I still shouldn't do that because few extra minutes of sleep just totally destroy me for the day.
I personally used meditation techniques to fall asleep faster until I taught my brain and myself the right routine. Don't confuse your brain, Bed=sleep and keep a schedule. From there power naps are easy.
