Exercise helps you feel always refreshed and improves your sleeping considerably. I have finally managed to fit jogging as a daily activity and it has helped me wonders.
But the key thing is marijuana. There's no better aid to concentration than getting high. Of course you can't over do it, but getting the /right high/ will make you code like there's no tomorrow.
It completely relieves you of any pressure and stress and makes any problem interesting to work on. It's the only thing that will make me stare 3 hours non-stop at code without being affected by distractions and without getting tired while also actually producing and being creative. I'm not ashamed of admitting it and I'm most definitely sure I'm not alone being a stoner coder :)
This may work for marathon coding sessions (be sure you're following TDD practices), but it can be counterproductive for people dealing with GAD. It can actually be a cause of GAD.
