Supercharge Your Afternoon Work Slump With A Nappuccino

Zie indulges in two things to wake herself from that afternoon work slump:

• Sips her favorite cappuccino with two cubes of sugar
• Takes a quick power nap

This duo is an ironclad way to put the sleepy blues of the afternoon behind you and supercharge your day.

What is a Nappuccino?

Oh, do not scratch your head wondering what a nappuccino is! We’ll serve it to you hot and fragrant!

A nappuccino can be described as a 20-minute power nap you take right after downing a cup of coffee. Also known as a coffee nap, it is touted as one of the best remedies to wake yourself up and maximize alertness.

How Does a Nappuccino Work?

Once you drink a cup of coffee, it’s absorbed by your gut, passes through your bloodstream, and eventually lands in your brain.

When it gets there, it lodges itself into receptors that are typically filled by adenosine. Adenosine is a byproduct of brain activity; when its levels increase, it plugs into these receptors, making you feel sleepy.

But when caffeine enters the scene, adenosine loses its power. Caffeine competes with adenosine for the same receptors, occupying many of them—but not all.

This is where a nappuccino works its magic! When you doze off immediately after sipping coffee, your nap helps clear out the remaining adenosine from your brain receptors. That’s how you achieve complete alertness.

PS:This only works if you nap for around 15 to 20 minutes immediately after drinking coffee. Sleep for longer, and your brain will enter deep sleep, making it harder to wake up. Fortunately, a short nap doesn’t cause sleep inertia. Plus, coffee only takes about 20 minutes to kick in—so it all works out perfectly!

How to Take a Nappuccino?

Step #1: Drink a cup of coffee—any flavor of your choice works.
Step #2: Don’t waste time—drink it quickly so the caffeine doesn’t kick in before your nap.
Step #3: Take a nap immediately after drinking. Just close your eyes and relax—that’s enough and will do the trick.
