I have no schedule. I really wish I did. My work is open ended and there is no rigidity to my schedule. So, I'm pretty much just doing random s*** during random times of the day. I initially had some structure to my day when my workplace was open because I'd get there for 4:30am or 5am and leave around 1pm. Nowadays? Sleep and work are erratic. It's totally messed me up in such a way that I'm a little stressed, but my mood is still fine.

Good question!

As for waking up, that has stayed pretty much the same. Even on weekends, I usually wake up at 6:30 am. 7 am at the very latest. I wouldn't even need an alarm clock. In fact, I haven't been setting an alarm clock. I get up between the mentioned times and put breakfast on the table. I am always hungry at that time, perhaps because of my Seroquel XR. Then we go back to bed and cuddle. Often hubby falls asleep a bit again. I rarely do. This has been the same no matter the situation.

As for the rest of the day, I have found myself to be more productive earlier in the day, since the pandemic. I used to lollygag a bit until early afternoon. Now I'm doing things as early as 9:30/10 am and seem to continue through a lot of the day. I thought about why this is, and realized that it's likely because I don't want my hubby seeing me lollygag. He doesn't know, when he's not home.

Unlike before the pandemic, I have been making nice lunches, with hubby home. I have also made dinner much earlier. I'm now tired by the late afternoon, perhaps because of the increased morning activity. I've been getting dinner ready by around 6 pm, instead of the usual 7 pm. My Czech hubby has always eaten late dinners. In my family, dinners were early at 5:30 pm. Despite being with my husband for 23+ years, I do still prefer the earlier dinners.

My husband has always started work late (10 am) and finished late (6:30 pm). He still logs on as "available" at 10 am on Skype, so his official work start time hasn't really changed. I'll admit that he has taken some "long breaks". Partly because he has less work to do because of the pandemic. That's why there are layoffs at his workplace.

I do try pretty hard to keep a fairly firm schedule. When can do that, I do think it helps me. But I can't always. My brain just doesn't allow it all the time. I have to sleep when I can sleep. There is no sense in lying in bed for 4 hours awake, when I could be doing something productive instead.

My mood is not contingent on outside influence. Sure I feel lighter when the sun is shining or I get out of the house but that is everybody day to day fluctuations not bipolar moods.

I'm sticking to the same sleep schedule, but my day time schedule is off. I've been walking in the mornings but other than that my activities have been thrown in a time blender. My mood has been a bit off, but lately more so of mild psychosis and agitation without actually being manic or depressed.

My sleep routine is the same, I start winding down around 10 then fall asleep and get up by 9 at the latest. As for just in general, I never had much of a routine to begin with because I'm not working and am not in college at the moment. I miss the routine of taking classes. Anyway, I just kind of write out a list everyday of goals and things I'd like to do the next day and try to follow that. So this situation hasn't affected much for me in terms of schedule/routine.
