I had a coworker like that. He had 4 kids, stayed late in the office (as did I). When we would meet next day, he'd tell me the stuff he did with the kids before bedtime and some amazing piece of code he wrote or that book on programming he read. I just don't understand it. I live and breath tech but in my 40s, I need a caffeine IV to stay awake past 10pm. I do wake up early (5:30-6) and am totally clear headed then (with the caffeine IV/jk). I just can't do nights anymore. Anyone found a hack?
- artificialLimbs 6y ago40 yo here. I get up at 5 and go into work immediately. Generally try to be in bed by 10ish. I've cut down the caffeine to about half a cup in the a.m., and that seems to help quite a bit with mid/late day energy.
- jcfrei 6y agoMaybe try a biphasic sleep pattern. It's just a fancy way of recommending an afternoon nap but it might really help you stay energetic for the second half of the day.
- CGamesPlay 6y agoThere's nothing wrong with getting 8 hours of sleep / night! I'm not 40 yet but I learned early on that I need sleep or I can't function. The actual time of day shifts around over the years, but getting 8 hours is important for me.
