China
December 27, 2012 8:41am CST
I am always so tired that i don't want to do something like reading. Because i need to focus on the book when i am reading, it is very hard for me after an entire day of work. I just want to do something easy and not demanding much time and energy, like watching TV, searching the Internet. I know it is not good for my development in the future. But what can I do? Do you have some tips? And want do you do to spend the night?

If you don't want to read or do anything that requires concentration, your options are very very limited. A lot of people watch TV. Even if I'm tired, I still read - I don't have the attention span for TV (seriously!). What I do to relax after a 12 hour work day is take a hot bubble bath --- with a book! It kind of helps you unwind. And to me, reading in the bath doesn't take much concentration... Best of luck with whatever you decide, though!

After a tired days work, one needs to relax...relax the body, the mind, the soul...so that body is ready for the next day...so just try and relax with your eyes shut fro about 30 mins and then you can watch TV or go for a short stroll, listen to light music and then doze off for the day.

My nights vary depending on what is going on. I try to take a night or two a week to veg with my computer doing various things, like mylot.... Other nights I use to work and spend my time making videos or audio of my husbands band and planning our future. Some nights I go out dancing and laughing with friends and other nights I spend with friends playing games :) I like to keep myself doing various things to keep boredom out of my life!

It is fun to keep myself busy and entertained. I like to find new things to try and learn new things. I like to teach myself from others as well. Is there something you have really wanted to try but haven't yet?

Hi!!I have never read any book at night basically I don't read much and reading at night basically makes me feel uncomfortable.I prefer browsing the internet, and having a small chat with my family members or just a small walk after dinner before hitting bed.I don't prefer staying awake late nights I manage to sleep by about 10:30.

It all depends very much on several reasons. Is your job a lot of thinking or physical labor? In your free time you really should do the contrary then. And do exercise every day. It might seem tiring but it will give you energy. The more we sit the lazier we get.

I agree with you, the more we sit the lazier we get. So, maybe i will try to do some exercise everyday.

Wow! Congratulations! It really works as you soon will find out. Using energy gives you more energy. It is like the battery of a car: leave the car a few months without using it and the battery will run empty. So now you have your goal for the next year!

I spend most of my nights watching movies at the cinemas or at home watching TV or at the internet. Sometimes I read a book. At times I do Sudoku. I find that when I read or do Sudoku I tend to be sleepy. But watching movies or TV or internet I can stay up late. My advice is try meditation.

I do one at a time, of course. Last night I went for a movie starring Jackie Chan. The movie is called CZ 12. It is also produced by Jackie Chan himself. His son, Jaycee Chan sings the theme song. His wife starred as guest appearance at the end of the show of only 3 seconds, I believe.

Its difficult to give some tips especially if it also happens to me. I am always tired at home especially if I can't concentrate for what I am doing here. I would wake up at 6:00 am to start responding on some topic discussion on myLot, but I can't do it for the whole morning. We had 2 years old child here and I need to take good care of him while her nanny is washing dishes and cooking food and then, my brother and my cousin would borrow my computer. I can't focus work online here if everthing is around me. I don't have privacy either. I want to relax after doing a post here on myLot, but how can I relax and I keep on breaking my time schedule? I spend the night watching movie on internet after 10:00 pm, but I can't do it anymore.

Close your eyes, listen to songs, if possible devotional prayers, it'll release the pressure and you'll feel relaxed.

Well, generally, I try to get some sleep at night, although my job is related to sitting at the computer most of the night and write articles. Of course you can watch TV of browse the internet. Not reading every night will not affect your future development that much. One night you will read, the other you take a break from the book. And you can sleep, for a change.

oh, you are tired after whole day of working, then you don't need to force yourself to do something. you take rest and get back your energy for tomorrow. I think watching tv or searching on internet is not bad, as long as you like to do it. Currently i have to work at night also, but sometime i am so tired then i just listen to music or take a nap...when i feel ok back, i work, i don't force myself just work and work only...

I always stay up late every night, I am just sitting in front of the computer and always on facebook. I also used to watch music video on youtube then go on some reading quotes until I am sleepy. I know that is not good for the health but I can't really help myself I really need to stop doing it but I can't.

you just try to go to sleep earlier 5 minutes each night, after a while, you will go so sleep early. stay up late is not good, you will be tired in the next day, you can change your habit, just be patient to change it. Good luck!

Its very simple i think. You can simply listen to music or even sit on a massage chair and relax your soul. After a tiring day of work the best thing to do for me is to listen to music and be all relaxed. Even if you have to focus on the book, you can also have music accompaniment by your side. I normally spend my nights listening to music, surfing the web or just watching a few shows. Music helps to calm nerves

If ai m tired when I go to bed, as I have been during the last few nights after an exhausting Christmas, I will fall right asleep. However, if I can not get to sleep right away, I will spend some time listening to the BBC World Service, on my iPhone for a little while.

Oh, that is also a way to spend the time, listen to the BBC. I will try that.

I like to daydream (or maybe it's better called nightdreaming) before I sleep. The day is always so hectic, with so many tasks and so many things to worry about. Right before I fall asleep I like to just lay in my bed and think about things and relax. It's very nice to lay down and have this time all to myself. Maybe some music would be good too if you want to try.

That is so interesting. I will try this before i go to the bed. Thanks for sharing this idea with me.

Honestly, I always sleep early. My work starts at 5:30 am so I need to wake up as early as 3:30 am to prepare for work. Once my shift is done, I go to the mall or watch anime and television series.

I would ask you to keep on reading even when you are so tired. If you keep doing so then it will make you to adjust and cop up with it. Now it is vacation for me and I just used to spent my nights for Mylotting, playing games and sleeping. Anyway I felt as a good time for me to enjoy my life.

I work at a very intense job during the day and when I get home I am initially very exhausted. After fixing a light supper though I am somewhat refreshed. I do freelance writing for a friend of mine and it is sometimes very relaxing for me to just get lost in the articles. I like to come to mylot when I am too tired to function because the discussions are always interesting and my interest is piqued. I don't read much anymore except for my daily Bible study. I used to have a lot of time that I spent reading for pleasure, but I don't have the time since I do the writing projects for my friend.

Hope you can get enjoy yourself here in mylot. May you happy everyday.
