When I get like this I can write code and design systems as easily as breathing, but only for short stints, and once I go to bed and get a full nights sleep I&#x27;m done for a couple days.<p>It&#x27;s like hyper vigilance but all I see is the computer, it&#x27;s awesome (probably unhealthy), but I can&#x27;t turn it on and off. There are triggers that usually work though.<p>If I stay up playing past 10pm it almost always turns on, and all of a sudden it&#x27;s 4am and I&#x27;ve got standup in a couple hours, but I got a shit load completed.<p>I used to be able to take a lot of uppers, like smoking and drinking too much coffee&#x2F;red bull, and that would stretch it out, but I can&#x27;t do that anymore because I want to live past 40.<p>So now I get the effects over shorter periods of time, and really only when I stay up late.<p>I also find that when I&#x27;m really exhausted from lack of sleep, it actually kicks in faster, but when I do that, I just end up sleeping all weekend because I invariably end up working on something until 4am every day.<p>I&#x27;m still trying to figure out how to attain that extreme level of focus at will but it feels like it would require me to stop focusing on computers&#x2F;electronics to try to figure it out, and that simply won&#x27;t do.
