Does Time Get Away From You?

Tweet

I recently started working at home doing medical transcription. I have done this before but was doing another medical-type job for a while in a hospital. I really missed working at home. I work at night because I really do not like to get up early. However, I find myself spending a lot of time on the computer on those make money by clicking sites and My Lot (smile), so I usually do this when I should be sleeping. If I try to sleep, usually my head is thinking of a thousand different things at once and before I know it I have stayed up most of the day and have to sit down at my work computer and put in another 8 hours. Well, I am finding this harder and harder to do. After a couple hours, my eyes start getting droopy and I want to take a nap. Then if I go to lay down, I fall asleep and do not want to wake up until morning. Consequently, I am not putting as much time in on the job as I should and I know I am risking losing the job but it is like an addiction where I cannot stop. I tell myself that I have to work 8 hours but after a couple, my will starts weakening. I don't seem to be able to sleep 8 hours straight or any amount of hours without waking up every couple of hours but feeling unable to get up and start working again. I am wondering if there is anyone who has experienced something like this and has some suggestions on how to break this bad cycle and become more productive? I have tried working in the morning and the same thing happens. In a couple of hours I need to lay down or I get bored and cannot concentrate. I don't think it is ADD but I do have chronic depression and am on Lexapro.
