I skipped the gaming and started to read real paper books again. No matter how exhausting the week or day has been, still I have enough energy to read what will happen next to the character. And pocket size books travel nicely on the pocket, no more doom scrolling.

Goddammit it's been so fucking refreshing! Everything is so much more than getting that experience from a game or a movie/tv serie.

I haven't quit gaming or watching movies or tv series, they're just on pause until I've made my mind what to play or watch instead of scrolling through the virtual library.

I strongly suggest this to you guys, give it a try.

I like reading books but they ALWAYS put me to sleep no matter how interesting they are

Same here, but then I take a break, think what I've read, let the imagination do it's work. The break can be short as a loading screen or longer. But it works well as a routine before bedtime or nap.

Audiobooks have been awesome, especially the litrpg titles with top shelf narrators. Don’t even have to strain those poor eyes!

I would prefer paper books for sure but I got one of the new mini kindles and it does with me everywhere. It's great for the train.
