> Why is that a waste? I'm an EM and code both at work and on nights/weekends. During the work day, I spend most of my time helping other people directly (code review, talking through designs, 1:1s, xfn collab, etc.) To build larger things, I do them nights and weekends.

Humans need sleep,
Even when you think you don't.
Try to get enough sleep.
Try to have at least some time during the day where you don't have any mental stress.
I have these videos that keep showing on my Instagram suggested reels that remind me that in a hundred or two after I am dead, literally nobody will have any clue I even existed. If hard work makes you happy, that's good. Keep working hard. However, definitely make time for sleep.
Controversial opinion: you shouldn't need drugs (caffeine) to help you wake up.
