Also it's probably easier for people to remember who you are and your situation if you'd stop deleting all your posts
Don't be mean :(
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.
It is very likely that your sleep schedule messes up a lot of other things about your life. Like proper food and drink, it's foundational to every other aspect of your existence.
As a former Professional NEET™ I can say that there is no real cure for "sleep laziness." If you find yourself staying up late even when you know you shouldn't, it's an issue of environment rather than personality. If you can't change your personality - I don't most people can - it's time to try changing your environment. For me, this would be getting an alarm clock that is halfway across the room, leaving the curtains open in the morning, and so on. Someone I know who went this way quite extremely, has their router blocked from midnight till 10 am, thus reducing the environmental impact of a phone. Try to think about the structural barriers around you to a good sleep rather than just looking inward at your own behaviours. You might find something very interesting in there!
Hopefully that's helpful in some way!
