You have to give your brain a break. That doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing but it can be doing something more along the lines of a hobby - such as creating music, doing graphics, gardening etc...

One of the most common overlooked things with developers is the fact that your brain strives for equilibrium. Tipping the scale too long can really have disastrous side-effects if you aren't doing some of the things you love doing. I broke down for nearly 2 months unable to code at all but it was the last time that happened since these adjustments.
