what do you play to wind down after a hard day?

Bit of a different one. I'm a paramedic and after a rough night shift my brain is usually still buzzing, and I've noticed what I play makes a real difference to whether I can actually sleep.

Anything competitive or loud is out. What works for me is something slow with no fail state, a bit of fishing, a bit of building, music I can leave on low. It's almost like a cooldown lap.

Curious if others in stressful jobs do something similar, or whether you go the other way and need something intense to burn it off.
