The easy answer is to do the tasks earlier. I sort of have a rhythm now with my work so I know it is hard to do tasks earlier. So I set up one rule:
I drop everything at 9:30pm. I turn off all the lights, close my blinds and lay in bed either reading or talking to my friend on the phone. Now I end up falling asleep on time if not early and I get tired at roughly half 9 each night! If I have to persist though then I do short tasks until 10pm so I still have half an hour to fall asleep. So in summary, try and finish tasks earlier but if you can’t then create a wind down time that is a non negotiable.
