Try reading fiction before bed.

I used to spend time thinking about code before sleep. The long term effects is the larger problem. Not giving your mind time to do something else will eventually lead to burn out.

Credits to Tim Ferris for this routine.

Ha, I've never ever been able to start reading a good fiction book before sleeping without either ending up finishing the book and not having slept at all or passing out from exhaustion in the middle of the night after I notice that I've reread the same line 3-4 times.

I tried reading before bed. Before I knew it, I would become ridiculously tired any time I tried to read (fiction) in the daytime. It was frustrating! So, now I read at lunchtime instead.
