On my days off, and especially during COVID, I have a hard time finding some sense of purpose. I completely renovated my house so this big 3 year project is done. I am getting a puppy in the coming days, so that should help to get me out of bed.
I am more of a night owl so I tend to go to bed way past midnight on my off days. I also prefer night shifts to day shifts for some reason, most likely because there is much less drama.
I find a shower and a cup of coffee in the morning really helps. And gym before night shifts.

Shift work is no good for a variety of reasons. Black out shades are worth the investment. Did several years of shift work in the mil and I'm just glad I'm done with it.
