I'm not sure if this is proportionate to low blood sugar, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. All I can say is about 30-45 minutes into drinking 2 cups of STRONG french roast (* 4 tbsp per cup *), I am yawning like there is no tomorrow and I fall asleep. I wake up an hour or so later, feeling clear headed, reading comprehension is up, and I'm feeling happy. I will continue "caffeine-nap" trials, with my studies in Information Technology - to see whether caffeine naps help improve reading comprehension definitely or not. Today could have been placebo.

In my research with blood glucose vs. caffeine, it took on average about 20-25 minutes for caffeine to kick in after drinking two cups of coffee. Therefore, napping would not be a paradoxical effect.
