Overworked in Tokyo: My 3AM Night Routine as a Burned-Out Salaryman

Life in Tokyo isn’t easy. But even as a burned-out, low-paid salaryman, by 3AM, my “me time” finally begins. With the city mostly asleep, I find a little escape in watching anime and letting myself relax.

In this Vlog, I’ll take you through my late-night routine: quick post-work meals, unwinding with anime, and those moments where, no matter how utterly drained and how much I question all my life choices, I’m stuck in the same loop… but at least I can savor the dark comedy of it all. Here’s a glimpse of a painfully real, yet self-mockingly absurd, Tokyo night routine.
