Motown always does it for me

That kind of initiative is a positive trait.
- No computer before bed. TV shows and movies on my laptop are fine, but anything active and stimulating is really bad.
- No video games at all. Even if I play them hours before bed, I can correlate that with a shitty night of sleep.
- Cut back coffee to one cup early in the day. Even though they say caffeine stays in your system only for X hours, I find that any coffee after say 2pm will probably screw with my sleep.
- Exercise. Studies conflict on whether this works but I know it works for me to be in moderately good shape rather than terrible shape.
- Low volume music. Any kind is fine for me, I've fallen asleep to punk. The key is that it be low volume.
On stretches of days when I can convince myself to cut out caffeine entirely, I find that I can actually take naps, something I normally can't do.
Needs to be proficient in C, Python, MySQL. Needs to be able to pick up new systems quickly. Great GPA from a top 5 CS school a plus.
