What's your daily schedule look like?

I have a 9-6pm deskjob which is surprisingly tiring.
Mostly because of all the deep thinking that needed to be done.

At 6pm I automatically get sleepy. And sometimes if I'm not on Overtime, I get to sleep at 7pm just to wake up at 9 or 10pm. And just to sleep again.

I was not like this when I was younger.

My brother told me that I should go to the gym or exercise even though it's midnight. Is this good?

How would you correct this kind of schedule?

Edit:

Thanks for the inputs.
I learned so much.

I still have a vague schedule for now but what I will try is:
1. Get atleast 45mins of daily activity
2. Weekend intense workout
3. I will try first to do some in the morning at 5am
4. Sleep early

I'll mix it up as I go until I find the right setup.
 
@ready2change Honestly the biggest game changer for my consistency was going during work.

I fully understand not everyone’s going to have the same ability, but working out over lunch time when it’s quiet, I can quickly get through what I want to, come back and finish my work day and feel great that everything is done.
 
@remas Nah it’s kinda a “take as long as I need but don’t take the piss” situation. I tend to train best when I have a fairly set/limited time anyway.

But there’s no way I train for 2 hours regardless of how much time I’ve got at my disposal. I don’t even know what you’d be doing in there for that long unless you’re tacking on some lengthy cardio or taking power lifter rests lol.

I’m also not at all a pro. Just someone that’s been into lifting for a long time. So I’ve found a split that works for me, I can get it done in under an hour.
 
@audrac87 There is no way I’d make it to the gym if I didn’t go at 6am.

I’ve tried over 10 years to be consistent with the gym, and I always dropped off after 6-12 months.

Since I got serious and started going at 6am I’ve been absolutely on it for 2.5 years now. No signs of stopping or slowing down.
 
@soag Yeah. Mentally, it's very helpful to prioritize training by getting it done before work, is my experience as well. Especially when you factor in gym evening crowds, loss of motivation and energy, etc.
 
@audrac87 Nothing can get in your way. You’re doing nothing at 6am because otherwise you’d be in bed. There are no friends to hang out with, fun things to do. I still wake up at 6 even on my rest day and I have fuck all to do. I want to go to the gym just to get out of the house, lol.

The idea of getting up early was way worse than actually just doing it, and I’m seeing the best gains of my life, because I’m showing up consistently every morning.
