I can totally relate to that last sentence! I too feel like "should I really be relaxing or just work on it some more?" all the time!

I do code to relax, but relaxation in my head is a bit more like stimulating my brain to come up with creative solutions to self imposed problems. For example: I'm building a CMS that doesn't use a database or any other external tools for that matter. Which means I have to make use of things like JSON and YAML files to persist my data.

Being able to come up with creative solutions is the aspect of it that relaxes me. It sounds silly, but learning is fun.
