I find I have about an hour before bed where I really shouldn't be trying to be productive (because if I keep coding or whatever, it'll actually prevent me from sleeping), where some nice video games or some passively-consumed video content can be slotted in guilt-free.

Now, I'm not saying that's the only time I relax, because that would be a lie. But it is a time that at least speaking for myself, I have to relax or I can't sleep.

The good thing about watching TV is that you can exercise at the same time. A few years ago, I realized that my time in front of the TV at night could easily be spent while also lifting weights and riding a stationary bike. My health benefitted greatly from that realization.

I used to do the same thing. Went to the gym instead.
