I have been thinking of things to do when bored at night.
That’s because I tend to do most of the productive things in the daytime.
The things I do in the daytime include:
- Working out
- Writing
- Reading
Obviously, that’s not all I do! Those are only the things I consider productive.
It’s just that my nights are too free and if I had it my way, I would go to sleep as early as possible.
I’ve spent so long figuring out what to do when bored at night.
This is a post on things to do when bored at night.
What kinds of things should you do when bored at night?
There are different kinds of things you can do when bored at night. They fall into two categories:
The productive, and the relaxing.
Remember that night time is the time for winding down and preparing for sleep.
That’s why it’s important to relax before bed.
10 Things to do When you are bored at night
Here are 10 things to do when you are bored at night.
1 . Reading
I read a lot.
I’m a person that reads non-fiction and actually enjoys it. Currently I am reading 101 Essays that Will Change Your Life.
I take notes and write my own observations.
2 . Drink tea
This is a good thing to do when bored at night.
A warm cup of tea is just what you need to occupy yourself.
3 . Listen to music
This is so weird but I make it a habit to listen to Chicago by McKenna Breinholt.
It’s a pretty obscure song but it makes me feel like I’m driving at night in crisp cold weather.
4 . Shower or bath
I don’t have a bath but I make it a point to shower every night.
It gives me something to do with my time at night.
Be sure to add in some skin care like exfoliating, shaving, and lastly moisturizing.
5 . Meditation
I’m a big fan of meditating at night.
I turn on some guided meditation videos on youtube and slip away from reality.
Meditating is one of the things you can do when bored at night.
6 . Movies and TV
My current favorite show is Community.
It is so frikkin’ hilarious and I would definitely recommend you to watch it.
Watching movies is one of the things you can do when bored at night
7 . Pick your clothes for tomorrow
If you are bored at night, lay out your clothes for the next day.
I stay home all day but I still pick a good outfit Haha!
8 . Work out
If I didn’t fear waking my whole family up with my elephant jumping, I would work out at night.
For now I stick to stretching.
9 . Journal
There are times I wish I wrote down all the details about my day.
That’s why I started journaling every day. In fact, it’s better if I say I write a diary! Because I pour out all my feelings.
These days I prefer to create a recording of everything that happened in my day. I’m a bit lazy.
10 . Drawing
If you are bored at night, this is one of the things you should do.
Drawing helps you to cope with boredom.
Last night I drew me holding hands with another me. It was symbolize that I am ready to help myself and love myself no matter what.
Relax and go to sleep at night
Nighttime is for humans to sleep.
Relax and make the mood suitable for sleep.
Make your bed before sleeping to feel good.
I hope you enjoyed this post on things to do when bored at night.
