Not waking up until 2 pm

I believe that I'm undergoing a shutdown.

I don't wake up until, at least, 2 pm most days; and I miss out on so much.

Traditionally, I'm more productive at nighttime. As a young boy, I had no issues getting up in the morning; it was after graduation that I lost out on so much.

My expectations didn't help matters either. I was expected to have a job, wife and kids after growing up. Now, I feel like a mess.

  • We are the only animal on the planet that wakes up in the morning because,  we are awoken by an alarm clock. Every other animal sleeps as much as it needs to, or when the sun comes up. Some are obviously nocturnal, I often don’t  sleep, anxiety and brain processing everything is often too much. I use audiobooks though the night. This happens for days and then I shutdown into sleep mode, I then have to work and want to sleep.
