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
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.
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.

Knock it down, one way or another.
Go here, or finish reading my articles from my RSS feeds.
You're lookin at it
Read a book
Read a borderline boring book. I prefer holy scripture for that.
Sit around petting the dogs
The dog in question:
Take two Tylenol PM and try to finish masturbating before you pass out.
Your welcome.
A bright screen will surely make me fall asleep.
gestures broadly at this
sudoku
No need to off yourself dude, just read a book.
How do you know I use sudoku to masturbate?
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.
I've always felt that an orgasm was natures sleeping pill.
Roger's Profanisaurus calls it Wanker's Cocoa.
It actually tends to energize me
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! 😭
Jerk off.
well, before antidepressants, I would've said "jerk off"
but now, errr... I dunno, torture people in video games?

Go to bed anyway
I usually ask people on the internet what they would do if they don't have much energy, but not tired enough to sleep.
You brush your teeth
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.

Watch videos before passing out. It's what usually happens to me every night.
Lay in bed and daydream.
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?
Pretend I am a monk from Monty Python and the Holy Grail until I render myself unconscious.
Ideally: Stand up and go for a walk or my stretching routine. Usually ends the tiredness.
Realistically: Balatro
Read a book. Some light fantasy usually.
Get high and watch a random video essay
You lost me at "not tired enough to sleep."
Well, time to go take a nap!
Work out
Watch movies
Pokemon.
Watch the YouTube or doom scroll Lemmy or /v/
Go for a saunter, even if it's just out the front door.

Phone game. Lately it's been Balatro or Slice and Dice.
Play a game or watch something
Play a house flipping game until my eyeballs burn.
