Even disheveled at 3 am, barley together, he still ends with that brilliant and adorable smirk at the end😂

No need to apologize Tim, insomnia is a beast.

Being productive is a good way to pass the time

When I get insomnia, I lie there like a vegetable for hours. And the next day, I have a hard time getting any work done. Tim just gets up and does stuff when he's at his worst, in the middle of the night? Jesus Christ. This is very high willpower.

It’s good practice to get out of bed and go do something low-key instead of just staring at the ceiling. Then when you feel tired go back and try again.

I love how casual and natural this video is. Also completely relatable.

Very relatable. I work in the Japanese games industry as an engine programmer but in my free time I play around with unity and learning 3d modelling in blender. Sometimes those toys turn into little games, sometimes they're just fun to make. It feels much more productive than just lying around failing to fall asleep at least.

As someone who suffers insomnia fairly regularly, and cannot sleep easily without medicine, I can empathise with you here. Good for you for getting up and doing something. I just lay in bed dreading the next day or listening to podcasts for 6+ hours at a time.

I guess I should try making more little things. I have no motivation left to do anything, at least I could try to occupy my time with small things.

Little projects/tools/toys are fun to learn and develop, and it is nice to see someone with decades of industry experience still making things like this. Helps to encourage the rest of us they we /don't/ need to jump right in to the deepend. Might forward this to the middle school coding class at work.<br>Not had the time to really sit down as much as I want to, so I spend my lunchbreak making little games in excell with functions and VBA, or learning Zscript.<br>One day I orta mess with the larger engines.<br><br>Insomnia sucks. While quieter and less excitable than your awake vids, I enjoyed this 9 minute one. Hope you get a better sleep another night.
