At the start of the pandemic, I would "build" my office every morning in the bedroom of our small apartment. We had a coffee table that would rise up to make my desk, I'd open up a folding chair, plug in my external monitor and laptop, etc. At the end of the day I tore it all down. It definitely helped me separate work from sleep even though they were in the same physical space.

Of course, having a morning routine that involved getting my (2 year old) daughter up and ready for her day before I started work also helped create separation.
