I have no sleeping issues at all.  My only issue is not being able to leave Hong Kong for vacations.  Otherwise I am perfectly fine.

Personally, it's my work schedule that is fucked. Usually, I get interrupted once or twice a week to help put out a fire or 2 but now, no distraction from the rote work is happening and with it my motivation do it. And this is only week 5 of 25.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I am all fine even if I am alone at home (well, if I don't count my cat :wub:). Never was a big social guy. Sure, I miss a bit social interactions, but I do mostly what I was doing before.

Yeah, I'm fine, too. It's been two weeks since I left the building, and the main thing that was getting on my nerves was work and colleagues constantly reaching out. :D Fortunately I have next week off. :)

I've been working from home the last several weeks. My motivation is obliterated, though I'm fortunate since the workload is also small. Being stuck in the same location--with no mental/physical separation between office and home--is doing a number on me. I find myself switching work locations at home from room to room just to get different surroundings, plus I take a lot of walks around the neighborhood to help.

I'm sleeping more than I should, yet am consistently tired despite that, to the point that my routine 2-3 days of the work-week is to get up, shower, check email, make tea/coffee, finish the drink within ~30 minutes, then take a 15-20 minute nap, followed by struggling to work for the next hour or so.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Same here. I mean, I've converted my dining table into my work desk, but it's still the same room, same office chair etc. <_<

Worst thing about this is that now I can't use it for board games  :(

I think in the future there will be a trend in real estate for home offices the same way there has been one in recent years for mother-in-law suites.

For those working from home and not used to it, if possible try to separate each side of life, work and personal space. If possible, use a separate room that you can ignore when you're not working. I've always worked from my guest bedroom, for instance.

How do you ignore it when you have a hot young houseguest?

I don't get to crack up that way.  I get to come into work and deal with mail, packages, freight, etc all day.  Luckily these are coming from all over handled in warehouses where people are getting sick...oh wait, maybe that's why I'm cracking up.
