I know some days it feels like you will never recover from your sleep debt. It feels like you'll never catch up on work. It feels like you'll never get back in the swing of things. It feels like you can never muster enough energy. But you can and you will.
Don't assume your recharge button is the same as anyone else's. If you need to be alone, be alone. If you need to be with people, be with people. If you need to read, write, doodle, daydream, sleep, bake, run, complain, shop, chat, veg out... do it. Fully charge and then fully use your charge.
The thing about batteries is, if you take care of them correctly, they hold better charge and have a longer lifespan. If you let them drain til they are actually very low (but not dead) and then fully charge them, and repeat, the batteries keep their full range of power.
Similarly, if you work hard and rest hard, you will have a fuller battery.
If you let your battery get pretty low, like 30% and then charge it up to 80%, and repeat, eventually your battery "forgets" it's full capacity. No really, this is a real thing.
Similarly, if you don't put in your full work effort, and then just halfway charge yourself, you will be left feeling like your charge (and temper) are growing shorter by the day.
So charge up, and use your charge for good.
