A friend of mine will say *"Rest is for the weak or the dead, no time to rest for the living"*, it's funny and I would always prove the statement wrong with my lifestyle. I may not find the time to rest as much as others do but I do rest enough to get more energy for what's to come.

How I take my rest can be in different ways, even in ways others find to be as restful as I take it to be. I could say I am very digital because I'm always on my phone and the few breaks I take away from it, I'm doing an offline business or on my pc *(another digital business)*.

So my dose for unwinding has so much to do with my phone *(a digital device)* and there are my favourite go-to apps for that.

To be honest, I'm not listing out all of it in this post because I feel when the unwinding dose becomes too much, it isn't called unwinding anymore lol. I mean, how can I say I want to rest and I'm on Hive, Tiktok, playing different games, chatting on discord and listening to music while doing all that? I'd be a lot busier than when I was even working.

Well, they are all what I enjoy doing so I guess it's still called unwinding as they make me have a good sleep to an extent. So for my go-to apps as seen in the title, they are... ***Music, Tiktok and block puzzle.*** *Why these three?*

Like I said, there are more where these came from but I realized I frequent these more than the others late at night before I welcome sleep and it makes sense because the three does something different for me right before sleep and it repeated itself last night.

**Music for relaxing mood or lyrics learning purpose.**

While it seem like I'm relaxing as I listen to music from my phone, a lot of times, I want to learn the lyrics of a song I plan to sing or just want to know. I tend to remember more clearly whatever I learn at my relaxed mood. Listening to music late at night feels very different, I could hear everything with no distractions or disturbing thoughts and so a lot of times, I wake up singing the song like a pro.

Aside that, I feel really relaxed listening to this app play me the music I decide for it to play.

**A good laugh is good medicine, Tiktok for laughing purpose.**

*Didn't I laugh during the day? Am I that sad to find funny videos to see so I could laugh?* Oh no! Not at all, I just choose to laugh some more before I go to bed. Ever since I became a frequent user of this app, the system seem to know just what I want to see on the app and so there's never a day unwind with it without laughing so hard or at least smiling from ear to ear like one who won an award.

Tiktok has also exposed to new recipes I've tried and loved, more to come because it is one of my favourite dose for unwinding.

**Block Puzzle for the feeling of excitements and wins.**

I was not a digital games person until some months ago when I left home for my country service, I'm yet to understand how I got to enjoy games on my mobile phone so much now. I had three good games on my phone since I bought the phone but only started playing them this year and I've been loving the experiences and progress I have from playing them. This particular game **"Block Puzzle"** is my favourite because it is the easiest to play lol.

I love the feeling of excitement I get when I get things right while playing and then when I surpass best place, oh! The sweet feeling of win to go to bed hehe.
