Power Naps

“it’s just slow and dark but also kind of pleasant”

Have you ever thought of mixing naps and coffee mixed? Well, today is your lucky day! Today I will be judging these drinks based on what vibe they give up. For example, let’s say we have a black coffee. It has a lot of caffeine, but also it seems like a calming drink, like one for when you’re tired.

Number 1. Latte. 

A latte is the most basic coffee. It's a 15-minute nap that you take in the middle of the day. Everybody takes these types of naps, just like everybody sometimes orders a latte.  If you get seasonal lattes, they are the same nap type, just in different environments. For example, a pumpkin spice latte is a nap on the couch when it's 60 degrees. And an eggnog latte would be a nap that you take on a snow day when there’s a foot of snow, and you’re napping at ten in the morning.

Number 2. Americano.

An americano seems like that nap that's one hour long at around 5:00 PM. Now, you kind of get a bad feeling on this nap because you wake up several times, but I think that’s it’s underrated and pretty refreshing. Also, it's going to be a very bad nap because you're gonna wake up and then go back to sleep and then wake up again. However, it’s weirdly refreshing to be done and feel fully recharged when you decide to be done. I say this because Americans just like the other coffees, but with its twist, none of the other coffees use water which is why it's got a different taste.

Number 3. Mocha

A Mocha is one that you take at ten and then go till 3, it's basically like night, and it's just slow and dark but also kind of pleasant. But when you wake up, you're filled with regret that you just wasted an entire day, but you also didn't have anything going on that day. So a good nap but also not good for productivity.

Number 5. Kombucha.

 Kombucha is a nap at like nine in the morning, and it's hot out, and you have the stuff to do. You take an hour nap because you just don't feel like doing anything, and then you wake up and your hot and sweaty, and then you have to face your fears and go out and do something like mowing the lawn or ride a bike. I say this because it’s a drink that you get on a hot day to cool you down with its bubbly flavors, and that’s the nap I think of when I think about hot drinks.

Number 4. Hot Chocolate.

An 8 OZ hot chocolate seems like nap time for little kids, you never want to take a nap, but you have to before your mother gets mad. I say this because...because. Well, the name says it all.
