Drink Caffeine before a Power Nap

Save Tip

Are you one of those people who needs a 20 minute power nap before you hit the gym? Here's a power napping tip that will reduce post-nap grogginess. It might sound like a bad idea, but you should actually drink some caffeine right before you take a nap (if you're trying for a 20 minute power nap).

Caffeine takes 20 - 30 minutes to affect your body. So drinking a caffeinated soda before your nap will make you more alert when you cell phone alarm rings - warning you that nap time is over.
