Which kind of sux when you still have to work a regular 9-5 job. I had to start taking sleeping pills to get to sleep on time during the week, but it's still very hard to wake up in the morning.

On the weekends, I just let myself go with my natural body clock, but Monday is always an adjustment, which is why it is nice to be able to wfh. I can sleep in until the very last minute.
