Hi Hanh, I also had a similar problem. If I can give you a piece of advice that worked for me, turn the table around. Instead of coding at night, change your daily schedule so that you can code in the morning before going to work. I used to get up at 5:00 and study computer science until it was time to work. This system allows you to have a fresh mind ready to learn. Unfortunately, it also means going to bed at 21:00/22:00, so it can be a bit difficult to get used at first, and it kinda destroys your social life. But it's hard to get there without sacrifices. I wish you luck in reaching your goal! 😉
