Study: naps > coffee, good night's sleep to combat tiredness
- Psyonic 18y agoI don't doubt the truth of this statement, but its not that easy. I can drink a cup of coffee at will, but napping not so much. It's not even that my work wouldn't allow me to; I could probably arrange for that. I just can't seem to take naps. I've never really been able to fall asleep in the day, except after 48+ hours with no sleep.
- neilc 18y agoYeah, same here -- learning how to nap would be valuable, but I just can't seem to do it (perhaps because I'm usually wired on caffeine?). Sometimes I'll pass out from exhaustion when I get home from a long day, but that is more involuntary than deciding "Hmm, a nap would be good right now".
- streblo 18y agoUnfortunately I can't nap at work.

- pkrumins 18y agoUsually you don't have that time for a nap! It's the day before exam and you still have to read those 200 pages. No time for naps, it's coffee.
