Never worked in a company that tracks hours after that. Amazon aspects workers to be available for on-call 24x7, it's very difficult to provide this level of support of you have to commute to office 3 days

Something you can try at home

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables. More varied diet helps in Vitamin and nutrition deficiency.

4. Put your phone in Grayscale mode.

5. Go to a vacation. Even booking a hotel in same city for a Weekend will give you much needed break.
