I'm writing this at 4AM, completely off-kilter sleep schedule, so I will definitely be giving this a try from tomorrow. Other suggestions I've heard are to turn off the computer an hour before you sleep, but it's always very difficult for me to tear myself away - but not eating, that's something I can manage easily enough.
Also, step three is, in my recent experience, deadly. You'll either miss/delay the meeting, or it will be a painful hour or so while others expect you to be thinking hard.

You know, that's a potential health issue in its own. The key is to strike a balance.
Well, of course, I didn't mean to stop eating entirely. Just after 8PM, as suggested in the article. That seems easy enough.
I agree with you regarding the health issues of spending too much time on a computer deeply absorbed in a problem. Ignoring one's basic needs becomes almost the default.
