Coffee Nap: How to Beat Severe Sleep Deprivation in 20

A professional sleep specialist presented a method that allows you to restore alertness in just twenty minutes. This method can partially replace a full night's sleep.

The method is called coffee nap. It involves combining caffeine intake with a short daytime nap for rapid energy restoration.

To achieve the effect, you need to perform three simple actions: drink a cup of espresso, lie down immediately, and set an alarm for twenty minutes.

During this time, caffeine reaches the brain and blocks adenosine — a substance that causes feelings of fatigue and drowsiness.

It is important not to exceed the sleep duration by more than thirty minutes. Otherwise, the body will enter deep sleep, leading to grogginess upon waking.
