As a 54 year old Software Engineer, who has had a nice IT career for over 26 years, I'm spent.
This is coming from someone who has always had a growth mindset and had a really hard time sitting still. I used to loathe naps and felt like I was missing out if I took one. Now, I take a one hour nap almost daily and I'm finding that after 1pm I'm basically fried (I start working around 7AM).
I'm not sure what to do about it, if anything. If I could retire now, I would.
I'm trying very hard to get my earnestness about learning new things back and I'm finding that my motivation has just tanked.

I'm afraid this is a permanent state now.
