I'm kind of in the same boat. My boss allows me somewhat flexible hours, fridge at work always stocked with decent beer, nice work environment overall. But very tiring and a lot of responsibility. What has helped me: I've started working out again. Getting up at the crack of dawn and exhausting myself is easier for me than waking up between 7am and 11am to go to work. No idea why, but that's what helped me. Of course I'm pretty tired when I get home, but that's just an added benefit, because usually I'd stay awake till 1am and complain that I'm dead tired the next day.
Hopefully I can eventually do some WFH stuff, because it's mostly admin/writing stuff. Where I work is in the same suburb I live in so I'm not worried about travel times and such. But even though I live in the same suburb it's still just like a slog.
