I usually go to bed around midnight and get at 8AM every day, which I know is a solid amount of sleep, along with a structured schedule. I’m a man of structure, so I like having a sleep routine. However, today I slept in till around 9:30ish because I don’t have my morning class, and I don’t have a tone of homework to do. I knew I needed the rest, but I felt bad and guilty about sleeping in. I felt that I could have been productive and gotten a head start on some things. 

I don’t know why that having anxiety requires to give my body more rest than it should. I feel dead by mid-day most days, even though I got a solid 8 hours of sleep. Why do I feel guilty about getting more rest than usual when I know it’s necessary?
