Experiments performed by scientists from UK and Japan suggest that coffee and naps taken together maximize the brain\u2019s alertness much better than when taken alone.<\/p>\n

The secret is in how the combination of caffeine and sleep affects a neuromodulator called adenosine.Normal activity slowly raises the level of adenosine in the brain, which makes us feel tired. Coffee reduces adenosine, while sleep naturally clears it from the brain.<\/p>\n

As research shows that it takes about 20 minutes for caffeine to start affecting the brain, taking a nap immediately after drinking coffee enhances its effect on adenosine.<\/p>\n

Scientists say one should drink coffee quickly in order to have enough time for the nap, which should last no more than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

For those who do not fall asleep easily, scientists say even a half-asleep stage works.<\/p>\n
