Have a gummy, watch TV, play video games.

My wife goes to bed early, so I get a few hours to myself to watch whatever show I'm interested in that she's not, and play video games without it taking my attention from the family.

Be alone. It's nice to have some peace and quiet after everyone else has gone to sleep.

It's the only time I can study because of it

Make tea, smoke some pot, listen to music and jump between Lemmy and a book.

Quietly clean the house, bake, prep pieces for sewing, write a little on my book. Basically all of my quiet hobby parts. I save thé noisy bits for 8am.

I have two almost adult kids that live at home. They sleep through it because they are use to my routine. The dishwasher/dryer/washing machine running actually helps them fall asleep by drowning out the city noises with their white noise.

Usually play some games with the Australians or Brits. Zone out while watching other late night streamers on Twitch.

Watch porn, YouTube. Browse lemmy. Until my eyes start to pain up

Yes, I'm a depressed "college student" who's skipped his semesters because of social anxiety and now doesn't know what to do with his life

Same dude! What I am trying to achieve is now in my last year of the uni, I am trying to learn a trade to make a living by doing my own stuff.

All my other friends sent CV's and shit to get work experience in the field, get certificates, improve theirselves... And here I am, learning from zero with almost no experience or any network.

But I am hopeful. Thinking about my projects makes me happy and want to do more. This lead me to watch less of that stuff and kill less time. This comment became long and does not fit to the sub but; the downside of my mindset atm is that, I become depressed when I fail at something... That makes me go lay in bed browsing YouTube. Won't go away in a week, too.

I was playing Splatoon until like 10 minutes ago. It's 2:30am right now.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

Read a book usually. Sometimes programming if I'm in the mood. Sometimes porn, if I'm in a different kind of mood.

[–] idk837384@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 year ago

Scroll on my phone for hours and be depressed and then randomly dance to pop music for an hour

Mostly stay up watching entirely too much YouTube. It's safe to say I'm addicted.

Fanfiction. The quality of some of these stories is just beyond. Like really?? For free???

[–] Im14abeer@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Work, give me the night shift. I'm going to be up anyway. I'll sleep in the morning when friends and family are at work/school and spend the evening with them, just like I would on day shift.
