I've discovered two things about myself. First thing is I've learned that power naps (5-15 minutes) can help make up for some loss sleep the night before and make me more alert.
Second thing is I've found a benefit in drinking coffee in the morning. One or two cups in the morning helps me get to sleep that night. It's like there is a crash after all the caffeine has been used up.

that sounds nice and simple 😌
power naps unfortunately don't work for me - I'm totally exhausted after waking up and need around 2h of real sleep, so the whole day usually is "%/&ed.
Coffee is also difficult, since it somehow makes me tired instead, when I drink it midday or more than 2 small cups (heard people with adhd have this problem, never got tested).
