This Week in Jobs: Don’t sleep on these 22 tech career opportunities

Feeling the urge for an afternoon caffeine boost?

Before you down that double shot, consider the “coffee nap.” Coined the nappucino by​​ author Daniel H. Pink, this practice involves quickly downing a cup of joe, then immediately napping for up to 30 minutes.

Here’s why it works. It takes some time for caffeine to hit your bloodstream, meaning by the time your alarm wakes you up from the power nap, you’ll be doubly alert from the shut-eye and the shot of espresso, avoiding the grogginess sometimes associated with a midday snooze.

And while you’re wide awake, don’t sleep on this week’s opportunities.
