I like short coffee naps. It makes it really easy to get up afterwards. I’d only recommend it if you are able to fall asleep almost instantly though.
Basically you chug a cup of coffee and then nap, setting an alarm for 20-30m. Once you get woken up the coffee will be mostly in your system and you’ll feel really refreshed.
I do a 6-10 minute nap, it doesn't even feel long enough, but it's enough to feel more alert and not mess up sleep later that night.
I combine it with a light alarm. I have smart lights that I have hooked up to an automation. The automation turns off the lights, sets an alarm for 25 minutes, and turns the lights back on at 24 minutes. That gives me a bit more of a slide into wakefulness.
I've also taken to drinking tea throughout the day for a steady drip of caffeine. In the morning I brew up a big pot, then stick it in an insulated carafe to stay hot for the day. I've found it's easier on my body than coffee.
Nice yeah coffee isn’t always the play for me either for that reason. I like Yerba mate and white/green tea too
Oh yeah, I've been meaning to give Yerba mate a try. I've been staying away from green tea for the most part because apparently it's pretty bad about tooth stains.
