Not waking up until 2 pm

Desmond79

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.

  • Good evening Desmond,

    I didn't wake up until 2.30pm today.....although I didn't go to bed until 8am !

    More generally, like you, I seem to be significantly more productive at night AND, also like you, since I went grey (mid forties) I've really struggled to get up in the morning although before then I was able to wake and leap out of bed at "stupid o'clock" - ie 5am ish.

    I had hoped that knocking the booze on the head would have helped me to return to early-riser status, but in fact, it has made it significantly worse!  I now seem entirely unable to summon the energy, will and consciousness to get out of bed no matter how many alarms I set and how badly I want to, or need to, get up in the morning.

    Personally, I think it is an age-related matter for me - too old and wise to stress myself out with demands I don't want to satisfy.

    Similarly, I know you to very wise indeed, so no need to panic yourself if you are on a "shutdown" phase at the moment.  You know you will survive and pop out the otherside when you are good and ready.  Don't beat yourself up brother.  Stay sanguine.

    I do hope your fug clears enough so that you can enjoy some of this Friday evening.

    Best regards

    We all appear to keep very similar hours. I wonder if this is significant?
