I'm a solo founder working from home, and even though I'm kicking goals with the startup, I'm really having struggles with separating work from the rest of my life within my headspace. For quite some time, I've been waking up at 3am with work thoughts perhaps twice a week, and will struggle to go back to sleep.

Does anyone have any advice, beyond what this article mentions?

Sometimes I wake in a panic with something I need to remember to do. Keeping a notebook by the bed really helps me. I jot down whatever it was, which makes me feel like I’ve “dealt” with it, even though that only means it’s on my to do list or just out of my head so I won’t forget it.

I’ve also found making a list of things I want to do tomorrow and writing them down helps me not have those panic wake ups in the first place.
