Ask HN: How can I program till late (midnight) and have a good nights sleep?
- ramtatatam 10y agoProgramming till midnight is not programming till late :-) 4am is.. And if you have been coding until 4am and want to start your day not later than 8am - bulletproof coffee might be what you need. Tried it and this worked nicely in my case (though I tend to limit such explosions of creativity since also in my case they later result in depressions of creativity)
- mathattack 10y agoIt's all about sleeping late then. You can't cut many corners on this. I'm the opposite: I get my best work done early (4 or 5) in the morning before anyone gets up. The only way for me to get a good night of sleep is to go to bed by 9 or 10pm. I need 6 hours sleep to be functional without a load of coffee, 7 to be rested and 8 to be peaceful. It is the rare exception that can get by with 4.
- nabla9 10y agoDon't drink caffeine 4-6 hours before midnight. Install F.lux or reshift. They adjust your display's color temperature automatically to nightime.
