You'll wake up with the best caffeine effect.

Today's trends have been created to meet the needs and tastes of consumers. Just as coffee shops are changing their flavor and atmosphere to please demanding customers, such as the so-called millennials, people also change their sleep habits to combine two great pleasures: drinking coffee and taking naps. Don't you know what this is about yet? Well, it's about the coffee naps.

Believe it or not, this trend has more benefits than you think. It's usually thought that coffee takes away your sleep, so it's impossible for a person to rest after a cup of coffee. However, this argument is no longer valid now that there is a way to combine them for the benefit of coffee and nap lovers.

The truth about coffee naps

How does this combination work? It's actually quite simple. The first thing to do is drink a caffeinated beverage, ideally coffee but could also be other drinks such as sodas and tea, and those have a lower caffeine content.

It’s essential to drink your cup of coffee as quickly as possible; if you prefer something sweeter or colder, you can also use iced coffee. The idea is that after drinking the beverage, it has time to reach your intestinal tract and then the bloodstream, which means you will have 20 minutes to sleep. Why 20 minutes? Because that’s what will take the caffeine to finally reach your brain and generate an alert state.

And that's all? Magically, will you wake up with a better state of alertness and sleepless? Well, the science behind this it's related to caffeine, receptors in the brain and adenosine.

The adenosine is a neuromodulator that, accumulated in large quantities, fills a certain type of receptors in the brain, causing tiredness and sleepiness. In general, when finally reaching the brain, caffeine competes with this molecule for the same receptors, and when it fills them, it usually blocks the effects of the adenosine. However, caffeine does not fill every single receptor.

This is when the real role of napping begins to show. Sleeping naturally cleans the adenosine receptors, and if it’s done only for 15 or 20 minutes, it prevents you from falling into the deepest stages of sleep from which it can take a long time to recover when waking up. And what about caffeine? As it takes 20 minutes to get into your intestine, bloodstream, and brain, it arrives at a good time to fill the free receptors and leave you in a good state of alert after having taken an excellent nap.

You see, it’s a simple method to combine two pleasures of life. And the best thing is that it has been proven to be better than just drinking coffee and napping separately.
