I'm the same. I read super slow, and I just don't enjoy it really. Audiobooks are hard for me too. I like podcasts sometimes, and I read a lot of articles and stuff like that. But books are just too much for me.

I heard opioids also make doing jack shit easy.
Opiods and benzos help. That is something that will likely happen this month but I only have so many. And it only helps because it's a change. If I took them every day I'd just need more and shit. So, those will come and help me sleep when I need it, not an every day thing.
Alcohol doesn't help anyway.

I'm a software engineer. I make really good money. I'm off work this week, but then next week, and also the weekends.
Go touch grass and walk
I run every day
Work out doesnt need to be much.
This actually is the problem for me. Running and working out actually help. But it only kills a couple hours, and then if I do more it's not healthy and I'll injure myself.
As Jordan Peterson would say go clean up ur room and make your bed.
Are you shitting me? You're quoting jordan peterson?
Ugh I wish I could fall asleep early. It's sooo hard to fall asleep before 2am or so. And then I haven't been able to sleep past 7am or so. Which is why I said other than sleep. It's just really hard for me to sleep, even if I've been incredibly active during the day.
That's kind of exactly what I'm asking. What kinds of things would fall under that?
I actually occasionally do volunteer at a shelter. It's a good idea, but I'm mostly asking about things to do once all the available "activities" are over. Let's say, starting at 9pm or so
I had been on zoloft for a while but stopped a few years ago. I actually just started again very recently. We'll see if that works.
Weed doesn't help for me, it makes me more anxious. TV also helps for a little bit
I do a similar thing, melatonin but I'll put on TV. Simpsons, futurama, bob's burgers are all good sleep shows.
I played WoW for ages. I tried going back during shadowlands, but, it's just so different from what I enjoyed about it at its peak (wrath).
Is there a current MMO that really requires teamwork, as well as the ability to find a consistent group? A month probably isn't long enough though, and I don't think I'm mentally in a place to grind to a level cap without already having friends in game.
If those are feelings you deal with chronically, however, and you have the means to do so, I highly suggest trying to find professional help
It's a combination of an expiration date as well as chronic. I started therapy recently and I'm on meds as well. We'll see how that goes. So I just want to get this short period over with, because the combination is pretty unbearable..
I do a ton of exercise during the day. You'd think I'd be tired at night and able to sleep, but nope. Doesn't matter how many miles I run or walk or hike.
