Well, I do pretty much the same things you do, but I do them whether I'm playing or not.
My computer is in the living room of my apartment, and there is a double glass door to a balcony right next to my computer desk. The blinds are closed all the time in the summer or else I have trouble seeing the screen even for just typing. At night I write by the light of the computer screen. I keep a hand-written log of everything that happens, which I type up later.
I use headphones because I don't want to disturb my neighbors, and they give much better sound. I also always have something handy to drink, because I'm always thirsty.
I don't get to play much right now, but when I do I try to do it after dark or very early in the morning.
