"Optimizing Nap Time: The Benefits of Pre-Nap Coffee, According to Sleep Experts"

According to sleep expert James Wilson, drinking coffee before taking a nap can lead to feeling more refreshed upon waking up, as it takes about 30 minutes for caffeine to metabolize. Research suggests that a short nap after consuming caffeine can enhance its effects on the brain. To optimize the benefits of a nap, it's recommended to consume no more than 200 mg of caffeine and nap for around 20 minutes. Napping can be beneficial for combating sleep deprivation and improving alertness, especially for individuals with irregular sleep schedules or shift work.
