Does anyone else consider boredom as a factor when deciding when to go to sleep? Or is it just me...

@barefootstache
If you have burned through your to-do list and excited to re-charge for the next day (like you've done well) then maybe one or two vids but you're just happy and say "ok, on to the next day!" and unless it's good crap to watch, honestly it probably aimlessness / lack of your own menu that can become boredom.

Not sure if I have your question right, but the answer should prove some hits either way without over-helping or assuming if for you.

Self-checking tiredness and how that decreases quality means just knowing your limits is not always relative to sleep I find.
If one is bored then that's reliably something else... (like not having a list, even a 2nd go-to list)

For example you (or anyone) might be thinking about other things in life while doing thse other random things or videos as usually we don;t have better idea how to better our position.

@freeschool the question was stated in such a fashion that no weight was place on either direction.

I had a recent situation where I was awake for 20h+ and not tired, though quite bored. Thus decided slumber over poorly motivated to-do tasks.

@barefootstache Yes. Sometimes I go to bed far too late because I'm too bored to go sleep when I ought.

@trinsec that's interesting, so you have to be (some times) motivated to fall asleep?

@barefootstache Yeah, apparently. Maybe the day hadn't been engaging enough and my brain is like 'wtf, no, no sleep yet, you've not experienced enough today!'

So I just end up Redditting or some other lame activity. Might've as well gone to sleep but just didn't feel like it.

@trinsec actually I also get those, the not feeling like going to sleep.

So it seems like I get both sides of the boredom spectrum. The one side as stated here and the other side where one is not tired but too bored or lack of motivation to start any other mundane task.
