For a long time, I stayed up late working

For a long time, I stayed up late working. I called it the anxiety of not producing. I was tired and exhausted, and my body wanted to sleep. But my brain wanted that dopamine hit from the gratification of completing something. Then I'd look at what I made the next morning and cringe. It just wasn't good. It wasn't my best work, and I could see I was forcing it. Over time, I learned that taking care of the other parts of me and my life led to my best work. And that work always brought life-changing reflection that was much bigger than producing for the sake of the dopamine hit. It doesn't have to be a sprint 24/7. What time do you usually call it for the night?
