Tim Ferriss digs the Caffeine Power Nap!

Best-selling author of The 4-Hour Workweek Tim Ferriss offered his thoughts on forcing creativity in his post The Creativity Elixir: Is Genius On-Demand Possible?.

In his first point on timing the creative urge, he mentions one way to extend a creative work cycle:

I don’t believe that it isn’t possible to do more than 4 hours of good creative work per waking cycle. This can be extended only slightly by caffeine power naps (down a cup of espresso and then take a 20-minute nap) or “ultra-naps” that are multiples of the 90-minute ultradian cycle (I prefer 90 minutes or 3 hours).

For some reason, I never thought to use the ultra-strength power of espresso as I’ve mentioned my previous experiences with Caffeine Power Naps. Still, its good to see I’m in league with a best selling author.

    Caffeine – is there anything it CAN’T do? Seriously, have you tried the Diet Pepsi Max? That stuff is awesome. For some reason, Walmart doesn’t want to sell it in bottles, but the syringes work out ok.
