Insomnia caused by Gaming?

#1

Post by Jingle Jangles » Mon Jul 12, 2004 5:07 am

Well I don't know of any study or anything but I personally don't get sleepy just tired if I'm playing a game.
Yeah the Television Stimulates your eyes and all but when I turn it off I don't fall immediately to sleep.
Its like when I first get a game and I play it until I have to go to sleep in order to wake up the next morning but when I try to sleep all I can do is lay there and just think.
Like now…

My insomnia is caused by heat & humidity.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Mine is caused by the girl laying next to me. ;)

I've never had insomnia.

This is weird. I've been playing video games since I was 3, and I'm a complete insommniac.

Hey, cool, maybe I can find some more of my problems and blame them on video games! Scapegoats rock!

Whenever I play videogames late at night it seems to make me more tired.

I haven't been able to sleep at ALL for the past few days. Part of it is Adult Swim(up to Case Closed). From there it's music, VGF, and other crap. O_o

Tales of Symphonia has been doing a number on me all week. Today, however, sitting with my girlfriend in the middle of my 'night' waiting for a tow truck was what really won it.

My insomnia is caused by the all-hated thinking hazard.
