However, for me, a nap is better than a cup of coffee. It drives my husband crazy that I can take a 15 minute nap and wake-up totally refreshed. My father worked 60-70 hours a week for most of my life, but always came home for lunch and a 30 minute "power" nap. He was much more productive on those days than when he had to go to a lunch meeting and forgo the nap. Great list. However, for me, a nap is better than a cup of coffee.
