Despite staying up late last night consuming reckless quantities of fro-yo I woke up before 5am for an early morning boot camp training. (More on this later!)
I stayed up way too late last night so on the way home I had a debate in my head = coffee vs. a nap
I hope this issue gets covered in our next presidential election.
Yes, I’m asleep here…
Who is that doggy kitty in the window?
When I lived at my mom’s Vegas was an indoor/outdoor cat. We have a big yard and he was able to go in and out as he pleased. Since he got in that fight I try to keep him in 90% of the time. So now he sits in the window and stares out. It’s like a creepy statue.
Flapjack Friday! I had pumpkin pancakes with PB and chia seeds for breakfast.
Crunchy PB and chia seeds – loved the texture combos going on here.
And a glass of the thickest Orange Juice of my life! I practically had to chew it.

Question: Coffee or a Nap? What side are you on?
I vote for taking a nap, then drinking some coffee.
I vote nap, because I can’t stand the disgustingness that is coffee.
Coffee all the way! But only because I can’t nap. It just doesn’t happen for me – ever! And if I do ever pass out I wake up feeling horrible…My husband can nap on chair lifts to the top of a run on the ski hill! At the top he wakes up like a new man, ready to go with renewed energy. Wish I had that super power.
Excited for the last week of POTM! Those are some sweet prizes. Thanks for heading this up, Monica! Oh – and I want to hear more about the bootcamp! Always looking for ideas. 😀
coffee always wins. forever.
Oh my gosh, that poor cat–it looks so genuinely sad to not be outside! Wahhhh…
Coffee or nap? Neither for me! I don’t like the taste of coffee, and I always feel WORSE after a nap than I did before! But it also depends on the day…if I have things to do, then I’d probably just try to push through and stay awake. If it’s a lazy day anyway, then I might just nap.
NAP all the way! I LOVE SLEEP! 🙂
I gotta vote for coffee because it always takes me so friggin long to fall asleep..once i finally do, the kids wake up. wah wah.
I will drink a cup of coffee then go down for a short nap. Once the caffeine gets into my system it wakes me up and I feel refreshed but not coffee cracked out. Worked many a time for me.
Coffee and power through. I always feel so much worse after a nap! Plus, I can never sleep at night when I take naps during the day!
Ooh, that’s a tough one. If I have the time, then I’ll take a nap. Then follow it with a cup of coffee. 😛
I’m anxious to hear your thoughts on boot camp! naps are so glorious but I hate having a time limit on them! Cup of Joe it is!
I’m with ya…nap then coffee for sure!! 🙂
Coffee, definitely. I have nightmares when I nap. Can’t explain it.

I can’t believe POTM is almost over – didn’t it just start!?
I need to start napping when my son does. But the internet usually wins.
C’mon Fila toning outfit… Momma needs something shiny and new to wear…
I always go for nap, and then some green or black tea…
And my cat does the same thing, except she broke a bunch of the mini blinds and now just sticks her head through it to stare down anyone coming up the stares. too funny, and creepy.
Allison–I was going to say the same thing! I never remember where I read these things though.
right now I vote nap…I just ate turkey and the trypto-turkey stuff that I can never spell right is kickin in…zzzzzzz
Ah, the age-old question: sleep or caffeine? A nap will usually win out for me. Unless of course when you say coffee you really mean white mocha latte, then it’s going to be tough for me to choose. 😉 And pumpkin pancakes with PB? Yes, please. After my nap.
Sadly, a nap will always win out for me. Unless of course when you say coffee you really mean white mocha latte, then it’s going to be tough for me to choose. 😉
Pumpkin pancakes with PB? Yes, please. After my nap.
Nap then coffee sounds good to me!
It was a sad day when my son gave up taking naps at age 2. That’s when I usually took a nap! Now I’m just over-coffeed.
nap always wins!
I am obsessed with naps! So….I will be in Cali next week! Where are you going to be?!
I’ll be around!
Since I have such a crazy weekend and week ahead, I’m on the side of coffee! 🙂
My old roommate has a crazy cat that loves to bring in garden snakes from outside when he goes out. Not so fun. :-/
I just noticed you are running a 10 miler in Boston in March – you’ll be in my neck of the woods! You might have mentioned this in one of your posts I forget but which race is it???
I try not to nap. I totally kills my sleep cycle! Go coffee!
A nap then coffee sounds great to me, if I could nap! I hate it, but no matter how hard I try I cannot nap. But I can still pretend and just lay on the couch 😉
Coffeecoffeecoffee. My naps usually go with me saying, ‘Ok, 20 minute power nap aaannnddd go!” Then I wake up 3 hours later.
I have some kind of freak disorder where I can’t take naps – coffee all the way.
Nap first then coffee is my motto! If you’re tired then your body needs the rest. I just have to learn to take cat naps and not college length sleeps (2-3 hr naps).
I read somewhere once that you’re supposed to chug a cup of coffee (lukewarm or iced I guess) and then take a 20 minute nap. Supposedly the caffiene is fully kicked in after the nap and you’re good to go!
I don’t know if this is true, but I kinda love it.
I heard that recently too, can’t remember where though.
Love PB pancakes!
Nap now vs crash out later? I’d totally go for the nap. Ok, I’d choose that at any time anyway.
Nap. I could pretty much sleep 16 hours a day, no lie. I figure I might as well be dead if I’m gonna do that though… so I’m grateful for the coffee.
