Adenosine is a chemical in your body that slows down nerve activity. It builds up over the course of the day and when it hits a certain point, you feel tired and go to sleep. Once you’re asleep, adenosine begins to drop.
So when you take a nap, adenosine drops. Now here’s where the coffee comes in. Caffeine and adenosine compete for the same receptors in your brain. So when you’re napping, because the caffeine doesn’t have to compete with as much adenosine, more caffeine binds to your adenosine receptors. When you wake up, you may feel like you have more energy.
