nounnappuccino (plural nappuccinos)
plural nappuccinos
- slangA power nap combined with consuming caffeine as a stimulant.
In When, Daniel Pink suggests you have a 'nappuccino': a cup of coffee just before your 20-minute nap (between 1 pm and 3 pm). This is because it takes about 20 minutes for the caffeine to digest and have its effect, so you get a double whammy!
