What are COFFEE NAPS and can they really help you energize through the day?

For those who are uninitiated, this coffee/nap dynamic duo works in tandem because of timing. Basically, it takes approximately 20 minutes for your body to register the kick of caffeine. And 20 minutes is also the perfect length of a nap, allowing you to rest without leaving you groggy.
