I used to do an all nighter at least once a month in my 20s with no ill effects unless I tried to do more than one a week. Tried it in my 30s, the recovery was rough.

This is going to sound weird. I had this epiphany about self love recently. I pictured myself as two different people and imagined what I would do for the other to show them I love them. It's sort of changed my perspective on things, at least a little.

Nice platitude, but I know for sure laziness exists because I do it sometimes.

every single time I got myself in that slump the only way to get out of it was to literally stay up for like 20 hours straight. I couldnt do it now, I'd pass out and nap

It's not weird at all. My therapist had me imagine that part of me is an abandoned kitten, as a self-compassion exercise. It was extremely effective- compassion directed outwards is a lot easier for me, as it sounds like it is for you.

Since I have schoolchildren this has become a real problem. But it's so deeply ingrained in me that I have the feeling I can't change it without some behavioral therapy.
