Has gaming changed your sleep habits?

[Alisa]

Whether it's late-night gaming or "just one more level," games can easily push bedtime back. Have you found a way to enjoy gaming without sacrificing good sleep?

Yes, especially when I get caught up in a game late at night. It's easy to think, "just one more match," and suddenly it's much later than I planned.

Nah, when I was a teenager I kind of stayed up but now I play for an hour and go to bed if even that.

Certainly. There have been times when I kept playing games deep into the night. It resulted in not having a good sleep, and on some occasions, I woke up later than I had planned. I am beginning to prioritise the quality of sleep that I get nowadays.

Setting a stopping time before I start playing helps a lot. It's easy to lose track of time when you're having fun, but knowing when to log off keeps gaming enjoyable without ruining sleep. Avoiding intense games right before bed also helps me relax.

This is a nice approach, but I think one has to be brave to achieve such because there are certain games that can become addictive when we play then.

This makes it difficult to stop playing it at a time that we set to stop.

Since a long time I have learned to play games in moderation, therefore gaming has never changed my sleeping habits. However, a long time ago, when I got a smartphone for the first time and since smartphones was convenient, I used to play a lot of mobile games and sometimes played until 3 or 4 in the morning.

Currently gaming hasn't changed my sleeping habit, there was a time where i could play a game all through the night but at the moment, no matter how good the game is, i always try my best to get some sleep.

It has when I was younger, but it no longer does. I don't sacrifice my sleep. The only games that kept me playing during my youth was Call of Duty, Neopets, Hobowars, and Gunbound. However, I no longer stay up late to play games, but I do stay up late for other things.

Well, I didn't play games when I was in my teens, I started playing only during my early adulthood. But I was still naive and I was playing mobile games almost all through the night. I think this is also true for most people, and as they grow older, they stop playing all night
