This is a very effective way of increasing the feel-good aspect of a power nap.
Coffee straight before nap. Set alarm for 20-30mins.
Profit from a double whack of alertness when you wake up.
I can’t think how often I’ve used this trick. It was a mainstay of my student life and occasionally nowadays- but the number of shifts I get a nap in is very few.
I have no evidence it is anything more than placebo, though.
