Sleep or Coffee?
Several years ago, I lived and worked in Rome, Italy. When I first arrived, I was surprised to learn that several of my Italian co-workers took time off each afternoon to rest. “An afternoon nap?” my somewhat arrogant 20-something mind argued, “You’ve got to be kidding.”
While the Italians rested, I darted to the café across the street and filled my veins with not one but two shots of espresso. I dove back into my work buzzed and blurred for the rest of the day.
But, check it out: recent studies, including a study by researchers at NASA, validate what the Italians, most Latin-American countries, China, India, and many others have known and practiced for centuries. The studies report that an afternoon nap (popularly known as a powernap or siesta) energizes you much more effectively than the afternoon caffeine jolt. Naps are good for your overall health and well being. Take a look at the following link to learn more - click here.

I lived and worked in Spain for a number of years and we always took siestas. Not only did it make us more productive at work, but it made the hours after work that much more enjoyable!
I've read articles that Thomas Edison never really slept, but power napped several times a day.
He would get in a comfortale position, holding an object in his hand. When his body reached total relaxation the object in his hand would fall to the floor making a noise to wake him up.
The claim is that the brain only needs to reach the point of deep rest, if only for a moment.
