Coffee naps are the best productivity hack on Earth.
They "rewire" your brain to fix brain fog, dopamine, and focus.
They're literally a portal to flow state.
Here's what they are, why they work, & how to do one: 🧵

So, what exactly is a coffee nap?
Drinking a cup of coffee and then taking a 20-25 minute nap.
Research shows it maximizes the benefits of both the caffeine and a quick nap.

Your body uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy.
As the day goes on, adenosine builds up and makes your neurons fire less often - which is why you feel tired.
Here's how caffeine fixes that:

Sleep clears adenosine from the brain.
Which is why we feel refreshed and alert after a good sleep.
Huberman explains how this works:

Huberman explains how this works:
A coffee nap keeps your brain sharp in two ways:
1. A quick nap naturally begins to clear adenosine from your brain
2. You wake up → the caffeine kicks in and blocks adenosine from its receptors
Making you more sharp, focused, and productive.

Here are a few tips for your coffee nap:
- Drink black coffee
- Set alarm for 20 min
- Do it 7 to 9 hours after waking
Also, if you're a bad napper (like me).
You don't have to fall asleep. Just closing your eyes and resting works too.

I found this supplement based around the coffee nap.
BUT you can take it before going to bed every night (caffeine release is delayed 8 hours).
I've been using it for the last few weeks and I wake up feeling amazing.

Have you ever tried a coffee nap?
I'm terrible at napping so I'm going to give these a try in a few weeks when I'm on vacation.
(Seems like it would be perfect for Spain)
