I have read about coffee naps before, but I have not tried the technique out yet. Most of the LD riders with whom I have talked have said to consume food and drink in a way that is most normal to your typical day. So, if you drink a cup of coffee at 7:00 am most mornings, then do so on the ride. What they have recommended to avoid is drinking coffee, tea, or soda in order to stay awake. They also recommend not trying new gear, new food, new drink, or (I imagine) a new nap technique. I will try the coffee nap thing out, but probably not for this ride. interesting read, none the less.
