What if you just didn’t go home at first? Hit a climbing gym with buddies, or buy an ebike and use that to commute home. Interrupting your normal schedule and psychologically making home only a place of rest might help you reset your life a bit.
You don’t have to spend money either. You could even just hit up a park, the library, or hang out with buddies. We tend to go swimming lots once standard time hits.
This sounds like the best advice here tbh.
At this point OP is probably conditioned to be tired when home, because they’re always tired when home. Gotta get those sweet activities in, THEN go home and sleep. Meal prepping might help so there’s no need to go home to cook dinner, but I’m not a well-adjusted enough adult for that, I’d just try to find a healthy meal outside, or do OMAD or something.
Yeah, I’m doomed if my ass hits couch. I need to maintain some form of momentum.
I call it apartment gravity. The gravity in my apartment is just way way higher than the rest of the world. What can I do but sit or lay around.

The point here, IMO, is to make moving - some kind of exercise - part of your daily routine. Unless you have a physical job, try to find some way to stay physical. Bike to work (I know this is often not practical), or go for a walk at lunchtime, or start always using the stairs in the office , or …
It sounds contradictory, but staying physically active really does give you more energy.
