My social life suffers a lot, and since maintaining a music studio costs a lot of money, I miss out on a lot of activities because of it (but that's okay to me).
Lots of my friends can't understand how I can sit for hours on a sunny day in front of my PC listening to a looped 2 second sound bite. They always nag me to get out of the house, do this, do that, get a hobby, etc.
They don't understand what it takes to do what we do, nor the rewards we get from doing it. So ist dat leben.
Also I don't think I eat as well as I could or get a proper amount of exercise.

Don't think that music production has given me any bad habit...
More, music production imho is a very good habit itself 
If i didn't make music i would probably play computer games instead...

Music production has actually completely 100% killed an addiction that has plagued me and pretty much all of my endeavors for the past....oh idk, 18 years or so of my life: video games.
Whereas before I would spent 8-16 hours a day on the computer playing World of Warcraft, now I spend....8-16 hours a day on the computer playing World of Ableton. |

Well it has given me pain in both my arms because of the computer. I cant use anything but a trackball anymore...
I also smoke looads when I make music, every break to "rest your ears" is a nice time to roll one up to be ready to press play and enjoy 
I spend all my money on equipment, wich keeps me from doing loads of other stuff I really want to do (travelling/hiking, other hobbies, nice healthy food etc).
I have started training at a gym lately, and it has really helped for both my physical and mental health... not the economic side tough

hehe, agree on allot you said there Magnus ..
Also i really have to actively pay attention to keep my back straight .. with guests i sometimes assume the most
amazing positions while still stretching my arm waaay to far ..
and making those micro-movements with your fingers with a stretched arm while not even your resting it on the desk can't be good ..
Caused me some wicked shoulder/arm/back discomforts ..
luckily i have a partner in crime who's skilled at Thai massage ..

i edit real life sounds on the fly in my mind, eq them and manipulate them with the proper needed fx..
still need to find the audio out of my head though for bouncing to wav..

Bad habits? Spending 99% of your free time tweaking knobs, eating 1 time a day at most, having almost no time for social events, always being nagged by family and friends that you don't see each other often enough, hating any music that has bad quality of sound, never listening to the music itself, but trying to figure out the trip behind it and analyzing every sound and effect, trying to figure out the frequency of every sound, feeling less connected with the world we live in than with the universe itself, using a lot of music terms in a simple conversation, smoking too much, etc. etc.
I would say they are endless.
