My body clock is normal when I stay awake a little late and sleep a little late in the morning. Every so often I'll go too late at night and too late the next day. Yes, accepting an off schedule for a while seems to work better than stressing over it.
Show us how you spend your evenings.

I generally work in the shop from 9am to 6:30 or 7pm, with a hour and a half lunch break around two. Cook diner in the evening, and watch some you-tube, do some house work, and take the dog out a time or two.. Occasionally watch a movie from the library.

It’s pretty much the same on work days and the weekend because even on days off we’re both still working around the house, running errands etc.
We always sit before dinner and have a drink together, whatever we each feel like. We keep a modest bar so the choices are a variety of cocktails (margarita, Moscow mile, highball, vodka tonic, dirty martini or beer or wine)
Because we often don’t get home till 5 or 6, it’s often 7.30 or so when Ron takes his shower while I start dinner, and when he’s done bathing he’s my Sous chef helping me chop/prep. We often switch and he’ll cook and I’ll help.
We turn the tv on while we’re doing dinner prep, maybe have another drink, watch a show while dinner is cooking. Major cleanup is done by the one who doesn’t cook, but we both pitch in
After dinner Ron heads to the bedroom to climb in and watch more TV. I’ll walk the dogs one last time, maybe cycle the laundry, get stuff set up with clients for my next day. He’s usually asleep by 9 or so (he’s up at 5.00) I’ll fall asleep between 10-10.30, and am up between 6.00-6.30.

I retired a year before the pandemic. It turns out there was not much difference between retiring and sheltering in place. I still wear a mask. And I am somewhat introvert, so when I go to the store, I avoid people the best I can.
Other than that: keep house, watch Today show, read stuff on internet, then local evening news.

If I feel like watching tv I put on WE tv and watch Criminal minds or Law and Order. If not I am on here.

i basically come home from work, shower, find something to eat and take care of a few dishes and start a wash. then i play video games till around 2 or 3 in the morning. usually in bed by 4 if i work the next day. at some point i try to get on the forums during gaming breaks and get caught up.
