Dunno how else to call it. Got me a job. It’s not a bad job. I like the work I do, I tolerate the people there, the hours are not long, it’s unionised so they can’t harrass me when I’m off the clock, it pays the bills I got.
… But god damn. Once I’m home I lack the drive to do literally anything.
I’ve stopped going to gym, I often eat junk cuz I just don’t wanna cook, even my hobbies are being left to gather dust. After working my 9-to-5 I just wanna lie down and rot until it’s work time again.
So the question is, how do the better-adjusted adults handle this?
Again, I don’t have much to add — but god damnit I try to go to bed early and end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night anyway.
I could probably get more sunlight but this is a post on how to be less sleepy, not more sleepy.
“end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night anyway.”
This is still better for you than not resting. There’s been a tumblr meme going around that the MythBusters and Deadliest Catch crossover episode showed that just laying down and closing your eyes even if you do not fall asleep resulted in huge gains in cognitive function over not resting.
I am living proof, actually, I’ve struggled with insomnia from a young age and can absolutely corroborate that days after nights where I rested with my eyes closed were considerably better than days where I did something to occupy the time (like reading, as an example).
But boy is it fucking boring.
