I Can't Stop Thinking About Programming After Work!

There’s something about software development that makes it hard to stop thinking about programming after work. Earlier in my career when I’d be obsessing over programming, I would get home and right after coming in from the car jump into a video game or play some music. But it didn’t last very long. I quickly became a workaholic programmer. When I wasn’t thinking about code, I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking about it them. I even had dreams that I was in a whiteboarding session. Have you found healthy ways to stop thinking about programming when you get home?
