Since working from home due to the pandemic I’ve been able to wean myself completely off caffeine. To not get tired in the afternoons, I take a 15-20 minute nap each day after lunch. I think this has been good for me, and I’m worried that when I have to go back to the office I’ll be dependent on coffee again.
- stronglikedan 5y agoI wish I could nap. For me, a nap turns one normal day into two short days - a bright productive one and a dark groggy one. I've even tried the coffee-then-20-minute-nap method to no avail.
- gknoy 5y agoMy wife and I are the same way -- we never seem to feel refreshed from midday naps. Is there something we're doing wrong? :)

- Skunkleton 5y agoFor me, naps are an exercise in lying still with my eyes open. Even more frustrating IMO. Am I winning the misery olympics?
- mboto 5y agoThis possibly sounds like being over tired. Are you able to fully relax at different points in the day, or would you say you are an always on the go type? If the latter it could be you have a sleep/relaxation deficit that the napping can't pay back. Although mileage varies and all that.
