Very interesting! Personally whenever I'm getting sleepy but don't have time for a long sleep, I have always taken a 30 minute nap and THEN some coffee (or an energy drink), followed by a little bit of exercise to get the blood flowing, but I haven't tried drinking coffee BEFORE the nap. I should try this and see how it works. Thanks for the info Aperture! :)
P.S.- is your name a reference to the Portal games? I love them. lol

Yep, and I dabble in video/photography too!
Operating While Intoxicated
I have heard this before -- that it takes about 20 minutes for caffeine to filter through your system and begin to have an affect. I originally heard this on the John Tesh radio show. He said to the early afternoon pick-me-up, to drink a cup of coffee and then have a 20 minute power nap. Then you wake about the same time the caffeine is kicking in. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it works.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.
