Read on Kindle when really trying to sleep.

Otherwise, watching The Office 100th time.

Or if really not sleepy, then working on my next side project idea. Most likely the excitement of that new idea is keeping me from sleeping.

>next side project idea.

I am more interested in the side project idea a guy would have watching The Office that many time. Care to elaborate?

I have a baby who likes to wake up at 6AM, so don't really have luxury to work on side projects every night.

Wife and I like to watch some TV before going to bed. Sure I could do a bit of programming during this time but got to prioritize relationships over hobbies/projects. Usually we are watching a new show but after that we will play The Office because we have seen it enough that we don't really pay attention to it. It is kind of nice to fall sleep with some background TV noise. Like white noise machine in baby's room.

Also it might be strange but I find it easier to fall sleep to TV than complete silence.
