This is quite good, at least in my experience. I feel it's one reason I tend to gravitate to 'known media' when I'm trying to relax: I need to rewatch stuff, even things like podcasts, where I know what's in there and I'm just reminding myself. Letting my brain engage with that in a more perfunctory manner. I've never been sure why I did this, but it makes sense: I'm capable of devouring so much new information that I get sick, because I crave it and go after it like an addict, at the cost of my own well-being. That makes very good sense to me as I'm in recovery and don't drink or do drugs, and it's a real familiar sensation even though it's been some time since I used.
