Eat ~100mg of caffeine really quickly (like a caffeine pill or slamming some coffee maybe) and immediately set a 20 min to 45 min timer and get into bed. Fall asleep and depending on your condition you will feel mildly to very refreshed after you wake up. You'll probably be up even before your timer goes off if it's on the longer side.
A usual cup of coffee has about the same amount of caffeine. It could be uncomfortable to have it hit all at once if you're sensitive to caffeine though.
I wonder how much caffeine is in a scoop of pre-workout
nah caffeine wont give really anyone a heart attack. but if someone took a dumbfuck dosage of it and had one, then its really that (the dosage) that causes the heart attack, not caffein
Hopefully this is helpful for some people but I've literally never been able to nap properly in my adult life. I'm rarely able to get to sleep outside of normal bedtime, and if I do, it's going to be for 2.5 - 3 hours. This wouldn't be as much of a problem if I was able to get myself to bed at a decent hour.
My only saving grace is that I'm out like a light when my head hits the pillow at 1 AM or whatever.
This works. I spent 5 years in the Starbucks mines and did this regularly during 8 hour shifts during lunch break.
The smallest dose of adderall knocked me the fuck out for the first hour every time
I can never fathom how in the actual fuck can someone fall asleep within minutes. It takes at least 30 minutes for me.
i used to do this to take power naps. like i'd be tired mid day after work but maybe would be off the next day or go in late. so i'd take some caffine, lay down, and this way it would guarantee i wouldn't take like a 2 hour nap. get a little brain reset and be capable of getting done whatever i needed to do that day.
I've heard about this before but can never seem to get the timing right
i do this with modafinil sometimes if I need to sleep a short amount (~4h). take pill, go to sleep immediately before it sets in. wake up and you're already wired. i hate capitalism so much it's unreal
kind of like the coffee effect but don't want to get addicted so I haven't gotten myself a source of caffeine besides occasional coffee shop dates
Modafinil is way more expensive than caffeine. So if you are going to get addicted to one the latter is better. You can probably buy a 2 pound bag of chinise restaurant tea for 30 usd thats about 1000 cuups of tea. While modafinil is what 14 tablets for the same price?
I took Modafinil for a couple years, never developed a physical dependency on it, while I get nasty headaches if I don't get caffeine. It'd be like $0.25 for a day's moda.
Thats a lot cheaper than what i get them for. There is no reason not to indulge then.
I do that every single day in the afternoon immediately after my post-lunch coffee. I usually sleep 15-20 minutes and I wake up feeling incredibly refreshed and full of energy, it's amazing.
I used to do the opposite. I'd slam a litre of sugary beverage, wait for it to pass through my tiny bladder and then go to bed and let the come down from the sugar rush push me into a sugar coma. Really stupid thing to do for a guy who has type 2 diabetes in his family.
wtf
