Ruminate.
Doom scroll.
Ruminate.
Wank.
Listen to a sleepy time podcast.
In that order.
Could I skip the first four and probably fall asleep immediately with the sleepy time podcast? Yes probably, but, where is the fun in that.
well, before antidepressants, I would've said "jerk off"
but now, errr... I dunno, torture people in video games?
Get high and watch a random video essay
sudoku
No need to off yourself dude, just read a book.
You're lookin at it
Sit around petting the dogs
The dog in question:
Read a book
Read a borderline boring book. I prefer holy scripture for that.
Go to bed anyway
Most likely, I'll lie down and will listen to music/a long YouTube video.
i do this too. very good way to wind down and just rest the eyes.
Music videos! Binging some of the live sessions posted by artists is a healthier time sink than most everything else on YouTube.
A bright screen will surely make me fall asleep.
Take two Tylenol PM and try to finish masturbating before you pass out.
Your welcome.
Wank
I usually film it and send it to my fiancée to enjoy
For the last time, I am not your fiancée and I don’t want to see that shit! 😭
Watch movies
Depends on the level of tired. Currently if I have enough energy I'll contribute to openstreetmap by adding some missing buildings, parkings, opening times, etc. If I don't or I'm in bed I scroll tiktok
Jerk off.
Pretend I am a monk from Monty Python and the Holy Grail until I render myself unconscious.
Watch the YouTube or doom scroll Lemmy or /v/

I usually ask people on the internet what they would do if they don't have much energy, but not tired enough to sleep.
As long as I’m not too horny to sleep and too sleepy to masturbate, I’ll masturbate.
I'm in home or at work?
Play a house flipping game until my eyeballs burn.
Play a game or watch something
If I’m super tired but not willing to sleep yet for reasons (lack of free time other than the evening, being the main one), I usually put the tv on and play games on my phone. Not a great use of time but as we’ve established, tired.
If I’m tired but not that tired, I put the tv on and I knit. It’s my main hobby and I’m good at it, to the point that it usually doesn’t require much thought. My secondary hobby is sewing which is much newer for me and I can’t do that tired; I make too many mistakes.
It sounds like I watch a lot of tv, but in reality the period of 9-10:30pm is the only chance I get and not every night. So it’s not that much in the long run.
Phone game. Lately it's been Balatro or Slice and Dice.
Read various articles. Scientific or economic, something else. Sometimes analysis together with GPT Chat. But more often it's a series in the background while still reading. And then put the phone down and listen to the series in a mask. And that's it.
Go here, or finish reading my articles from my RSS feeds.
Go for a saunter, even if it's just out the front door.
Pokemon.
Knock it down, one way or another.
