zombie out

Stare at nothing

To zombie out is to become mentally vacant or unresponsive, staring blankly like the walking dead.

Often describes zoning out in front of screens or from exhaustion: I zombied out watching TV for three hours, She's totally zombied out after that double shift.

The state suggests being physically present but mentally absent.
