Subject: Does chess addiction negatively impact good chess programming?

I play chess for 14 years and my strength is 1800 Elo rating.

I tried programming a new chess engine some time ago. Since programming was a
strong stimulant, it kept me working obsessively and indefinitely with it all
night. While my addiction to chess grew strong, it somehow disturbed my work. It
other words, it made my work a bit more stressful and frustrating.

Do other chess programmers experience a similar problem like mine?

How do they cope with it please?

Thanks,
Eran
