Nap Tip of the Day

Another tip from Wired:
  1. Get this, drink a cup of coffee or high caffeine substance. It takes a few minutes before the caffeine actually starts to take effect. We call this time, "nap time"
  2. "Close your eyes and releax, even if you only doze,you'll get what's know as effective microsleep, or momentary lapses of wakefulness."
  3. Limit your nap to 15 (or 20) minutes. "A half hour can lead to sleep inertia, or the spinning down of the brain's preforntal cortex which handles funcitons like judgment."
You should feel ready to go afterwords, which a caffeine jolt to boost!
