I'm in my early 30's now and I really can't do that anymore.
Just make sure there's some long-term benefit to what you're doing right now.
If you're doing this for a manager, you should probably start looking for a healthier work environment.
Managers who don't consider your health are objectively bad at their job.

I feel attacked.
Because I'm working independently so no bad manager but all comes down on me.

Go see a doctor. Might be more serious than you think.

Last time I had that problem, it was because my boss was pushing me to finish a project well ahead of time. After working Friday morning through Sunday night with no sleep, I finished the project. He still complained.
So after a good nights sleep, I waited until payday, got my check, cashed it at the local branch of the back it was drawn on, then turned in my resignation. The company had a habit of keeping your last check if you quit, so I turned that around on them. I also handed over evidence to the customer (a state Corrections agency) where billing for my team had been padded by my boss with a lot of extra hours that no one worked. After all, sooner or later, it would have been discovered, and I did not want to be blamed for it.
I moved on and they paid a hefty fine to avoid prosecution.

I use audiobooks (or podcasts, youtube streams etc.)
I started out trying a self-hypnosis cd from Paul McKenna which sort of worked and then discovered just having an audiobook on at a lowish volume worked - I still wake up during the night but quickly fall back asleep. The only issue is losing your place in the book and so you end up listening to the same chapters over and over LOL

I get on my elliptical and do a 30 minutes run at high resistance. Getting tired physically relieves stress a lot.

Valerian Root from the local health food store puts me out.
In addition, meditation helps relieve stress.

A bit of indica helps. After a hard day, I take some before bed. Takes the edge off, and keeps you from thinking about stuff while lying in bed. Also, you don't wake up groggy the next morning.

a lot of strong Belgian beer like "Duvel" helps

Got so much documentation done today i feel like my fingers are going to fall off.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Did you do it in English or "Developer English" (which is harder to translate into English than Swahili)?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Developer English it is, then.

Umm, it's a development tool. The target audience is developers. An end user wouldn't know what to do with a parser generator.

I am a dev and I read the article (I did not go as far as downloading more) and still know 1/10th of SFA about parsers. Fortunately I guess I have never needed to know.
In an earlier post one of our cohort was describing his trouble getting to sleep. With no disrespect intended to you for your stellar work, if he knows nothing of parsers (like myself) I suggest he go to your page and completely concentrate on your documentation. I am sure he will either render himself safely asleep or get overly enthused on parsers and algorithms such that he forgets that he is tired.

I fell asleep writing the docs 3 times

This reply is because you really leave me no choice. None whatsoever.
For the benefit of others, should your fingers fall off, please make sure that is documented, as well.

So, just seconds ago, I pulled the trigger and deleted permanently all my deleted mail. Funny to think about how rare an event that is. I mean, I did delete it - I didn't want it and didn't think I ever would because, if I did, I'd shove it in some folder and forget it there, instead.
Do you others also hesitate to complete this tension-fraught job?

Delete, permanently? Who does that? Outlook archives stuff for me so I don't have too many items to search, etc. Old emails take up negligible space, whyever delete them?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Well - that's somehow built into the question, or conversely, why not delete them permanently.
Anything worth keeping is put someplace specific. Ultimately, if you just endless keep deleted email, isn't it like "those people" who fill their desktop with so many icons is obscures the point of having desktop icons.

I do that all the time.
It goes in my bin, which permanently deletes it after 30 days.
I keep pretty much all work mail and most personal mail, but newsletters, order confirmations, build status updates, etc. go right into the bin folder (after having read them).
Or mail like "here's my contact details". I create a Contact, save the details there and delete the mail.
Sometimes even mails with attachments that I should read. I download the attachment, put it where it belongs (like source control or ticketing system) and delete the mail.
That said, I still nearly have around 3000 mails saved since 2010.
Everything before that time somehow got lost when I took a new email address and apparently(?) purged my old account.
I have no idea what happened, but it was quite a shock when I found out at the time.
However, I can't say I ever missed any of those deleted mails, I think we keep them mostly for a little piece of mind and "just in case".

I don't do soft-delete's. Shift-delete all the way!

You and me both. Shift-Del is now so deeply ingrained in my way of doing things, the thought of just using Del by itself never even crosses my mind.
In the past 20+ years, there's maybe one time I wished I could've just gone to the recycle bin and retrieved something back out of it. Instead, I went to my backup set.
