Coffee Nap
Updated March 11, 2024
By Christine Pydych

A coffee nap involves drinking coffee and immediately taking a short nap to increase the following effects on alertness.
A nap lasting around 15-20 minutes should give the caffeine necessary time to kick in.
Coffee naps can be particularly beneficial to night shift workers and drivers.
Napping can enhance performance and mood, but cannot replace a quality night of sleep.
A coffee nap is just what it sounds like, coffee combined with a nap. It might seem counterintuitive to combine caffeine with sleep. But caffeine followed by a brief nap has been shown to improve alertness and mental acuity in several studies.

For coffee naps to work, both timing and sequence are important. Coffee naps are most beneficial when taken after lunch
sometime during the mid-afternoon. Drinking coffee first, then napping for no more than 20 minutes, is key. Some research has shown that coffee naps may be better for helping people stay awake
than just drinking coffee or a nap alone.
