This idea intrigues me. I frequently feel the need to take a nap, but too often, my naps go too long, either ruining the rest of my day because I slept too much, or by keeping me up all night, again because I slept too much.
I’ve tried several things, like holding my keys in my hand as I sleep in a recliner. When I fall asleep and drop them, the noise is supposed to wake me up. This has never been effective for me. Setting an alarm for 20 to 30 minutes doesn’t work well either, since I don’t feel the rest that’s supposed to come with such a “power nap.”
A coffee nap seems like just the thing to try over a lunch break here and there when my day just seems to keep on dragging along.
