Every time I play Final Fantasy XVI on PS5, I fall asleep. I wake up with my controller on my lap and the game unpaused. Happens every time. Something about that game puts me to sleep. Great game tho.

 

[SkeletonQuays]

Yes playing FF16 this week. Too many cutscenes. Not enough gameplay. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Combat is fun but yeah I agree, about 10 hours in I realized I don't care about the cutscenes at all unless it's epic fighting aeons, I ended up skipping a few and now found that I always mash through the in-engine dialogue. They need to up their game in that department. Game is super fun tho, but hoping it opens up a little bit more seems very "on rails".

 

[Danjin44]

No, if I'm that tired then I won't be playing video game.

Back around the year 2000 or 2001 I was playing EverQuest and like most who did, I was hooked. I mained a Ranger but was leveling a Druid and had bound myself by an NPC called Meldrath the Malignant whom I was killing. And then I woke up and I had dropped from level 42 to 35. Also keep in mind that starting at level 30 every 5 levels is a "hell" level where you need like double the exp.

I also did not manage to get any resses so I lost all that exp and ended up taking a few months break before resuming.

League of Legends, I feel bad about it.
After a night of drinking and lack of sleep I felt like playing a quick match of ARAM.
Started passing out while playing, clicking buttons with my eyes closed.
I said sorry to my team and told them to report me because I absolutely could not stay awake.
Left the game going and fell into bed. Sorry team!

 

[RoboFu]

A lot trying to hack through FF16. I can get maybe an hour or two at night.

 

[Nankatsu]

Horizon Forbidden West.

I fell asleep in order to fabricate a more interesting narrative in my dreams.

 

[Dunkelgrau]

A few hours ago while playing FF16.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Yeah, while playing FF7 remake.

 

[brettski2024]

Heavy Rain IIRC

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

All the time, I literally just fell asleep a bit ago playing Diablo 2 remastered. Now I'm laying in bed scrolling this damn place cause I can't sleep.

 

[Shadowstar39]

All the time. Especially when on low sleep. Happened the other night in diablo 4. My Barbarians spin to win whirlwind w/shouts was too hypnotic or something.

Luckily I got a rare item that creates a 600dmg earthquake when using ground stomp. Changed up the build go use ground stomp leap and while wind. The movement and added strategy is keeping me going.

 

[CuNi]

Playing longer sessions of power-wash simulator really started to hit different once the levels started to get longer and bigger.
And the occasional times in MMOs or RPG games when already on low sleep or just having one of those "constantly tired even though you had enough of sleep"-days.

 

[Jboemios]

Once playing Red Dead Redemption 1. I was riding a horse carriage, the next thing is Jhon falling from a cliff.

 

[sainraja]

Yes — it was when Resistance 2 or 3 launched. I believe it was the third one and I had been sleeping late the week prior, but anyway, I got home and put the game in, played it for a little bit and then at some point decided to take a quick 5 min nap and paused the game (it was like 8pm or 9pm); so when I get up, I see the game is paused and I lean forward and start playing... but after a while, I look outside and it's day light... and so I check the time and it was like 7 or 8am and I realize that I slept the whole night and now I am late to class so....yeah, definitely have lol.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I can only think of this happening once. Playing Gran Turismo 3, Christmas 2001. I was doing one of the endurance races and my body just gave up. Good times.

Legendary game.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

No.

But I would had in Hellblade. If I didn't need to stay awake mashing the face buttons hoping to skip the cutscenes I would had dozed off in the first 15 minutes.

Anyone with sleeping issues, download the game and you'll get groggy watching endless unskippable cut scenes.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Every single pokemon game.

 

[Calverz]

I nearly nodded off several times playing vampire survivor on a flight.

 

[BlitzerRadic]

Lol I fall asleep all the time. That's why I can't have OLED

 

[Roberts]

I nearly nodded off several times playing vampire survivor on a flight.

As much as freaking love that game, I nodded off once or twice, too. It's when you are set-up for a successful run and pretty much don't have to do all that much.

 

[The Stig]

Only while playing Metal Gear on NES.

thank you!

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Hellblade's intro is the perfect cure for insomnia.

 

[Comandr]

No. If you're that tired just turn the game off and sleep.

 

[Fools idol]

the first time I played final fantasy 9 and I made it to the town where it was raining. The music and sound of that area put my already tired ass into a trance. I woke up the next morning with the controller still in hand. Come to think of it, FF9's atmosphere and soundtrack in general is quite sleepy.

 

[Kaleinc]

Also while watching movies.

No. If you're that tired just turn the game off and sleep.

That's what little kids do.

Big boys don't have 8-10 hours a day to sleep, 5-6 on a good day.
