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.

    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.
