So interestingly enough. I work, play, and sleep in the exact same 5 feet nowadays. But I remember that initial feeling all too well from when I graduated and found work.
Similar to what someone else said, I'm always exhausted. I don't think that feeling really goes away. I think the difference is that eventually, you kind of get used to the exhaustion. It doesn't feel good by any means. But my brain has given into it and adapted slightly. I still hate it, but I've kind of adapted.
Do you drink coffee? I resisted it for a few years and then eventually gave in when I realized I wasn't able to function well without it. Mainly because I'm sacrificing sleep during the week. Partly due to bedtime procrastination, and also partly due to stress/anxiety. During the week, I'm getting about 6 hours of sleep each night. Not enough, in my opinion
It also depends on what the rest of your schedule looks like outside of work. When I had to work in the office, I was losing an extra 2-3 hours of my day every day.
I'm sorry you're feeling this way, though. It's not a very fun time. I wish everyone could have a better work-life balance
