I always have far greater exhaustion levels on a Monday than I do on any other day in the week. By Thurs/Fri I am delivering with adrenalin and a sense of depleting available time, keen not to let work creep into the weekend. I then cram so much into my weekends that I wake up on Monday morning thinking it would be nice to have a few more hours kip. I drink more coffee on a Monday than the rest of the week.
I am pretty sure this weekend behaviour is the product of boarding school still lurking in the psyche. I often do things (gardening, garage stuff, cars/bikes etc) well into the late evening on Sunday as if to squeeze every last drop out of my liberty and looking to postpone my reincarceration through activity. I don't put my feet up and watch the Sunday evening drama. I probably should.

Do you eat badly and drink more over the weekend?
When i think of Sundays and Boarding school, it is ALWAYs howards way, i think perhaps we left to attend school as it started. no idea, but its a very strong association

I eat pretty well on weekends, depending on your definitions. I did drink a fair bit yesterday. No doubt related to quality of sleep.

You’re overcooking your Sundays. Imagine if you had to prep for court too. Take a break ffs.

You may be right but there are always so many things to do. I am a man of hobbies and tasks.

Sunday evenings were prep from 7 to 9 pm then bed an hour or so later. Not hobbies and fun ffs
no wonder you are not ready for the week ahead come Monday morning

You slightly missed the point I was making, AmI.
I was meaning that the sense of depletion of the weekend (which you felt acutely as Sunday afternoon ran through) created a sense of wanting time to stop running, so you would cram in a bike ride, a Lego project, a something. Just one more... I still do this.
BTW, for me Ski Sunday and Rugby Special were the winter TV progs that signalled the imminent departure of the prison van.

my tolerance levels also deplete when tired. I am listening to a presentation by a person who is beginning to awaken feelings of deep hatred in me. Poor chap, it's not his content or tone. It's simply his existence.

same. In the past six months I have developed a 2.30/3am waking habit. It lasts an hour, sometimes more. This is an unwelcome development.

Hot water...
I might need to just give up alcohol and caffeine and see if I can recapture the balance.

Known as the Second Sleep - used to be a thing for the agricultural worker. Features in an interesting but odd book by Robert Harris

I like Mondays.
My job is fulfilling.
And I get a rest from being social.

To be fair Mutters, you didn’t really miss much on Sunday evenings.
As the man from the Telly says, it was Howard’s Way or All Creatures Great and Small on BBC1, One Man and His Dog on BBC2 or a Lesley Crowther Seaside Special on ITV.
Being contrary, I retired to my bedroom at 7pm listen to Monty Modlyn phone-in on LBC or the Peter Young Capital Radio Countdown.
Exciting times.

I have a vague memory of Holiday! and The Money Programme in the late 70s Sunday evenings when I was there.

Yes, you're right. Holiday was on a bit earlier at about 5pm, but The Money Programme was on at about 6.30 after Rugby Special and was really excellent stuff.
Peter Jay and Brian Widlake were a couple of the presenters.

The money program actually explained a lot of shit very well. Peter Jay was good to listen to.

Today I feel completely different. I slept well. Went to bed v early. Woke at 2.30 again, but soon back to sleep. I then woke to the alarm and decided fook that, and slept for another hour and a half. I think I had ten and a half hours which is almost teenstyle. I then had a coffee and took exercise before a shower then breakfast. My whole body feels different, no longer aching from deep down within. Today will be great.
