Strange But True Health Tip #2: Drink coffee to have a better nap
In a Japanese study that examined how to make the most of a nap, people who drank one to two cups of coffee and then immediately took a 20-minute rest—felt more alert and performed better on computer tests than those who only took a nap.
Why does this work? A 20-minute nap ends just as the caffeine kicks in and clears the brain of a molecule called adenosine, maximizing alertness. Adenosine is a byproduct of wakefulness and activity. As adenosine levels increase, we become more fatigued. Napping clears out the adenosine and, when combined with caffeine, an adenosine-blocker, further reduces its effects and amplifies the effects of the nap.
In other words, drink a little caffeine right before you take a nap. But remember, your nap has to be short.

ATTENTION ATHLETES… Special Olympics North America Athlete Input Survey
As Special Olympics approaches its 60th anniversary, it’s extremely important for leaders at all levels of the movement to understand what our athletes enjoy most about the movement and where we need to make even more progress on and off the field.
This survey should only take a few minutes and responses will only be seen by Athlete Leadership staff from Special Olympics North America. Your name will not be tied to your responses, so please be honest and do not hold back. There are no right or wrong answers!
Do you think you’re strong enough to pull a fire truck?! Will your team be the fastest, pulling it 45 feet to the finish line?!
Participants create a team of 10 members. Each team is responsible for raising a minimum of $800 ($50 off for each female on your team, up to a maximum of $300 off). The team with the fastest time wins!
Please join us for the 22nd Annual Truck Convoy for Special Olympics South Dakota to celebrate the trucking industry, partners, and law enforcement working together to raise funds for Special Olympics South Dakota.
