If you don't get 8 hours of sleep, drop whatever you're doing that prevents you from sleeping enough, as a matter of urgency! YouTube was my vice, and I cut it out. I still struggle to keep to my sleep times, but it's one less obstacle on the way.

Seek therapy for anxiety. I say this as someone who "didn't need a therapist" until finally reaching a breakdown point.

I would say that for me sleep is the number one most important thing; and it did take me a while to figure this out, but the difference is very noticeable relative to when I don't sleep as proper as I should.

Again, sleep is the NUMBER ONE most important thing, especially for an engineer.

Not sure my wife or kids would appreciate that one...
