Energy at night

The entire day I am tired.

I have small bursts of energy, usually brought about by my craving for coffee or sugary stuff (I know I should probably give them up), but nothing constant. Usually around afternoon or early evening I feel so tired that I have to nap. Sometimes even several hours.

In the daytime I feel crappy. I feel like I really have to PUSH myself to do anything. To push myself to feel motivated to do stuff. Usually I just fail or procrastinate my way through the day. I avoid people mostly because I just feel too tired or anxious to talk to them.

At night things seem to be different. I feel the sort of tiredness because its night. But there's a calmness about me, and an optimism and also the will to live. Things seem clearer and less foggy and my mind doesn't race like a mofo. However, this is completely useless because this is the time I'm supposed to sleep.

I wish I could have the energy burst I feel at night throughout the day.

I really feel like my whole depression and Social Anxiety is a result of my energy levels being completely screwed up because of sleep problems or some fatigue problem. I can't even make the phonecall to the doctor in daytime to make an appointment for a blood test because I live in such a tired deluded mental shroud in the day.

I have tried many things thus far to solve my fatigue, from spiritual practice, to going to the gym, to melatonin supplements to be able to sleep at normal times, but I just keep falling back into the same cycles. Nothing seems to stick and as a result I keep being in this tired fruitless depression.

I think I just have a messed up energy cycle, and I've had it for so long that it's become my second nature to feel more awake at night.

I also sometimes have the temptation to drink coffee quite late at night in a sudden burst of "I have to do something!". Then I work until 3/4 AM. This messes it up only further. I probably have built up a huge sleep debt, which I keep intact with bad behavior (long naps in the afternoon, coffee, sugar, too much computer).

Last few days I've cut the coffee down to one in the morning, began eating more fruit and vegetables, drink more water, and I am starting to feel a lot better. Last night I was able to sleep at a Christian hour and waking up this morning went better then normally.

Now the trick is to make it last. I've fallen back so many times into bad behavior in the past...

The night is very quiet and nice.

I have a hard time keeping a good sleep schedule, too. The best solution is probably to stay away from the computer, but that's not gonna happen.

The computer itself is not the problem. There have been times I could fall asleep perfectly fine with the laptop in bed next to me.

There are plenty of people who work with a computer who can sleep fine in this world. I guess it's more a matter of how you use it. Mindless idle browsing or actual work.
