Dozing off/falling asleep during gaming?

Has this ever happened to you? I was wondering, because this happens to me a lot. Not because the game is boring, I'm perfectly fine then I just start to fall asleep. Like a little while ago I was playing Final Fantasy 13, and I just started feeling unbelievably tired for no reason. I fell asleep and woke up an hour later, but thankfully I won the battle I was in. Somehow. It's happened with Battlezone II as well. I was actually playing online, and I suddenly just got really tired and sort of fell asleep, with my hands still on the keyboard and mouse. I woke up about 5 minutes later, and somehow I got myself stuck inside of the enemy factory. I have no idea how I didn't die. Or how I managed to get in the factory.

This is a bit of a dilemma for me, because it ends up wasting my game time and interferes with what I'm doing. I love all the games I play, but it's as if they just lull me to sleep somehow. I'm still incredibly tired from my initial dozing off when I was playing FF13.

Ugh.

Do you get 8 hours of sleep a night?

I figured I would be asked this. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't.

Sometimes that's not as helpful as you'd think.

Well, I know that last night I didn't get 8 hours of sleep. (I just woke up about 45 minutes ago.)

falling asleep with your eyes open while playing a video game can actually be fatal. your eyes can go bzzzzuzzzzz and roast during you sleep. when you wake up you will either be blind or see stuff that looks like the inside of a burned marshmallow

what people can do while sleep can be amazing, some have driven cars & woke up not knowing where they were. One person i seen on this show go & eats food from the kitchen in her sleep. Thankfully i don't get up after i go to sleep.

Last time i feel asleep playing a game with my eyes open nothing happened to me,except i came close to beating the game... I was playing a game called ninja gaiden. I fell asleep on level 5 & woke up on level 9b halfway across the all those small platforms. When i retried playing those levels while being awake i found those levels were extremely difficult.

I was playing mortal combat for 2 hours at 1:00 in the morning.
I woke up to the voice that says Finish Him

I tend to play minecraft and Portal 2 until I fall asleep. Then I wake up, and play until 6:30, then do something else.
That's my weekend schedual
Weekdays tend to be playing until i'm dead

If I suddenly get tired, as OTC allergy medication can cause about 1.5 hours after taking, I normally put down said game and make it to the bed before said sleep. Then again, the bed is normally within a yard of the computer.
