Energy levels and sleepiness

 Uncle is entering semi-retirement now. Stopped working to see if this will work out

Suddenly, noticed that I will fall asleep every day at around 3-4pm. 

Initially I attributed it to my tiredness after years of stressful worklife

But after 2 weeks of taking naps, it didn't go away. 

Then it hit me....

Its my body and mind trying to find a new rhythm of life.

You see, when you have a full time job, the rigours and schedule of that job takes over your life. It becomes the center upon which you revolve the rest of your life around, including personal, family, schedules. 

Now, take that job away, and you lost your "center" schedule. And your mind and body goes hunting for directions, and becomes disoriented. 

I need to find a new center to replace the old one. But this time it will be a better version.Why?

Because, when you are employed, you have no control over this center of life, since it almost dictates when your "own" time starts and ends, and sometimes, it takes over all your time.

Now I can create my own center on my own terms

But I must be careful...

If I am lazy and creates a center that is too relaxed, I will decline, both in physical and mental capacity. Use it or lose it, right?

So I must instil a schedule, a discipline, and routine, that is not too relaxed, that is able to give me a little push to make me work hard, but yet at the back of my mind, take comfort in that this is totally in my control, and not someone else (ex Boss)

I hope this is the reason, but I have to try it. I think it should be it, because I am generally healthy and didn't have any issues based on recent health screening and blood tests.

Also, I don't think full retirement is in the cards, I should upskill and get a job for another 5 years or so to take money off the table!
