Hi! Said user here (who was up at 3am again last night - moved to the couch for those following the saga). You’re not alone! Interesting you say you’re not getting  enough exercise. I am a big exerciser, but have always worked out in the morning. My new attempt is exhausting my body in the evening so it doesn’t feel like it’s at rest, as you say, for 10 hrs after my am run. 

Maybe try going for a run or something after work? Wake your body up so it knows the difference of sedentary and active?

I like the hack I just learned to pretend that you are doing something that makes you exhausted, or recall how tired you’ve been in the past. Try to trick your brain.

Working from home is rough! Lack of separation really makes it so we never actually “shut off,” which is so important for the brain. I can’t believe how much I actually miss commuting.

I feel this. I’ve started getting up at 330am and making a peanut butter and banana sandwich. This is a terrible habit but it’s soothing and I do fall back asleep after. 

So I know a user on here has detailed their experience about waking up at 3-4 am every day. And I experiencing the exact same thing but at 5am. I don't know, but I haven't had a full nights sleep in what feels like forever. 

I'm not sure if it is because I work from home and I'm not getting enough exercise and so my body is like always "at rest". But I am TIRED YALL. 

Wakin Up In The Morning... and I'm Exhausted
