Don't beat yourself up too much for certain tasks being mysteriously harder. Many, many people are finding the same; I've heard it's a response to trauma and to drawn-out stress. And even those of us in relatively privileged positions regarding the virus are still dealing with some amount of trauma, whether from new restrictions ... or just the loss of the world we had and expected to keep having.
I'm not really going to sleep at an especially useful time, but I naturally drift towards night-owl tendencies and I can sleep late to compensate -- as well as sign out from work midday to take a nap if necessary. Naps can be excellent. (Not everyone benefits from them, but I'm finding them very handy.)
My company just announced that we won't be going back to the office until at least July, by their current projections. It feels weird, but just knowing I can plan to be working from home for a couple of months removes some stress. Uncertainty is very stressful.
Congratulations on keeping up with the helpful stuff like running!
