Visitors during the day

I was planning to talk about this, and then the window cleaner came again this morning. The other week, the window cleaner came to clean all the windows, and I was still in bed, so I had to get up because I felt like it looked bad for people to be working while I was just in bed. When the window cleaner came, I just opened the blinds to show I was up because if they were closed, it probably looked like I was still in bed. The same thing happened earlier this morning just as I was planning to talk about this.
I feel that staying in bed until late isn’t normal, but I have been getting up late for a long time. To be fair, it could have been a spare room, but it can still give the impression that I’m in bed. I’ve been sometimes getting up around 11 AM for a long time, and I know this isn’t a good habit. I’m trying to change it, and I do sometimes have appointments that require me to get up earlier. I also have my placement, but it’s only one day a week. We used to have builders around, and sometimes I would still be in bed, and I used to feel really embarrassed about it. It’s just hard when you’re out of work because you don’t have much to get up for. I also feel like it looks bad to visitors when I’m still in bed so late in the day. I know I shouldn’t worry about what people think, and I’m not a judgmental person or trying to be, but I do worry about what people think of me. Unfortunately, I feel like a lot of people are judgmental.
