Getting a proper night of sleep. One would say "But that's not work related", but my energy levels and productivity are severely affected if I tank at 2pm as opposed to 4-5pm.
So the most challenging part is maintaining a flow state and alertness to handle the many different tasks in the day.
Have you tried Polyphasic Sleep? When practised correctly, your body accommodates to certain sleeping times, making it easier to fall asleep, need less sleep while also getting higher quality sleep.
I struggled with this as well for years. The biggest boost for me on this front was cutting caffeine out. No more midday energy drops and my sleep is higher quality over all.

I find a coffee timed correctly in the morning perks you up so you're at a good and maintainable energy level sooner in the day. For me, that is about 9 or 10am. Any later and the code on the screen at 3pm starts looking like Russian!
Good point, this is a big factor in getting a good night sleep, If I consume caffeine after 14:00 AM I can't fall asleep until 1:00-2:00 PM, in contrast, when I don't take caffeine I fall asleep around 11:30-12:00 PM
Hi, I'm Gregory Brown.
My goal is to help software developers get better at what they do, whether they've been at it for five weeks or fifty years.

Sleep is super important, and so many healthy and unhealthy habits at home depend greatly on what the work day looks like.
For me, tracking my sleep actively and then working very carefully to improve my morning and evening routines helped a lot.
The better I slept, the less problems I had in my work which stressed me out. The less stressed out I was, the better I slept. It can be a virtuous or vicious cycle, depending on the choices you make!
Totally agree, this is something I tell my colleagues! Sleeping is really important. If you don't rest the brain at night, why would he help you in the daytime?
