Bed rotting or just resting?

Im a college student (22f) and just finished up my junior year. I've been working really hard, and haven't had any time to really rest and take a moment for myself.

Now that the semester is over, I've literally just been laying in bed all day and playing games or working (I'm a freelance editor) all night. I've had my experience with depression, and I don't think that's what I'm going through. Though I can't leave my bed during the day at all, I'm still so tired. It's been about a week and a half since the semester ended, and my sleep schedule is already absolutely fucked.

How do I get it back to normal?? I want to have a productive summer, but also give myself time to rest after such a difficult semester.

Is this normal? Should I give myself more time to just chill out and not care? Should I force myself to get up/go to bed early? I've never been very good at taking care of myself, I only ever overwork or do nothing at all.

Thanks for reading
