I assume different people have different needs, but I feel so much more content with life when I get up early and drive my bike to work/Uni. Having some structure forced onto me is just way easier than living from day to day. But I have also struggled with depression in the past, I may require it more than others do.
People that really enjoy being unemployed might have only had jobs that didn't feel fulfilling or were degrading, annoying or whatever. I used to feel great without work, between jobs because I worked shitty places. Now I have a job doing more useful work with a better environment and it feels nice to be there.
I agree with the depression also, it's easy for me to procrastinate and be unproductive and live more slovenly, but when I am working more it does force me into a bit better of a routine.
