What's bad for you health? - coding all night!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/What's bad for you health? - coding all night!

2:30am and still up coding. This is an early night for me based on the past month or so. I tell you what, finishing a game to a deadline is not for the lighthearted! Log says over 12 hours worked today on my game. Not too bad compared to some 18 hour days I've done before, but I also had to do some framework support, some financial admin etc. and it all adds up! I managed to play a game with my boys for one hour today, so that's good going (relatively speaking)...

Having less sleep from coding all day and all night plus suffering stress from deadlines isn't good for your health. Your immune system drops, you feel tired and sluggish, and start eating "comfort" food. Plus you stop moving around as much so get less fit. Add onto that the fact that it's the Winter so you put in central heating (which apparently makes people have more chest complaints) and then you throw in two schoolboys to the mix who both have bad coughs...it's only a matter of time before the crash!. I'm still ok though, not great but OK...

I'm gonna get a nice massage next week when I'm done and play loads of games! And go to bed on time...

hmm, I wonder if coding all night makes you more aggressive. I doubt it. More irrational perhaps but more likely to just give in...
