IMO it comes down to good habits and (more importantly) kids. I have never been more relaxed in my life. I get 8+ hours of sleep every night, and sometimes nap during the day. Cutting down on long commutes has made such a positive difference to my life that I'm never doing it again, pandemic or not.

Everyone I know with young children is on the opposite end of the spectrum though, now that childcare/daycare/babysitting/family assistance options aren't available anymore.

I've been getting worse at this. The thing is, it leaves me feeling more anxious if I roll out of bed and go straight to work. I like having a slower morning where I can sip coffee, read, or work on a side project before starting work.

Between working from home full time, having the pandemic fatigue, and the days being longer, I go to bed later, sleep in later, and wake up closer to when my workday should start. It's a solvable problem, I just need to find the discipline to reset my schedule, again.
