Are there any other NEETs/shut ins who have no life to speak of here? I'm asking because I need advice regarding sleep and schedules. Also, sleep schedules.
I do nothing except stay at home all day and it's starting to mess me up mentally. I'm obviously not going to go out and get a job or social life because that's impossible right now, but I need more structure in my life.
I've started to realise that the reason I feel down all the time is because my sleep schedule is messed up. Why is it messed up, though? Because I have nothing better to do than stay up late playing video games. I clearly have no self-control. That lack of self-control is what caused my terrible sleep habits and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about it.
I would technically be considered a NEET and I live my life mostly as a shut in due to both being disabled and having a limited/fixed income as a result of it. Also no family, very few RL friends and hopelessly single for several years.
I've struggled with sleep schedules for years for varying reasons. If you're staying in all the time, dont have obligations like school or work, then why does your sleep schedule matter in the end? I suspect feeling down is more to do with feelings of depression, powerlessness and loneliness, though getting no sun doesn't help.
If you really want to adhere to a normal diurnal schedule you need to practice good sleep hygiene. You need to set boundaries and create a routine. No games past a certain hour. Go to bed at the same time every night. No phone browsing in bed. Set an alarm and dont snooze it to death in the morning, that kinda thing.
Also it's probably easier for people to remember who you are and your situation if you'd stop deleting all your posts
