Forums - Gaming Discussion - Games you literally fell asleep while playing

So there's a pet raising minigame in Dangan Ronpa 2 that matures based on the number of steps your player character takes (think of it like a tomagotchi). At 2-something in the morning, I found a spot to walk in a circle and grind. I fell asleep and woke up at 5:20 am and once I fully realized my situation, I looked at my system and noticed it turned off. I set mine to automatically turn off after an hour of inactivity, so my progress had been lost (since the game doesn't have auto-save).

The only other time I can remember was when I was playing Super Smash Bros Melee, I was playing Event Match 22 - Super Mario 128 late at night. I was already drowsy at that point, but holding down doing the ground pound move as DK and waiting for all the tiny Marios to die didn't help. I woke up about 20 minutes later, retried the match until I won, turned off console, and proceeded to hit the sack.

You can keep it in your hands while you sleep? Mine always ends up on the floor or something.

Do you dream about playing Pokemon?


Well, I'd play in bed while lying down lol.

Many times.

That reminds me of when my brother said, while sleeping: "I'm going to become a Pokemon Master."



I wasn't aware that you could fall asleep while playing a game! If I feel tired then I just stop playing!

Pokemon. Not because I was bored, but because I was playing until 2 A.M at the age of 6 under the covers with one of these. 

It happened the same to me. I was for hour and when I reached the Elite Four I fell asleep. When I woke up, the battery was dangerously low, and I went running around the house looking desperately for the AC adapter. XD



You know it deserves the GOTY.

In recent memory? Persona 3.



I fell asleep for boredom playing Skyrim. I'm not trolling, this actually happened to me last year. I started this game, despite me not liking Oblivion, because of the rave reviews an people telling me that it's better than Oblivion. I can understand the praise these two games get, but they're definitely not for me. I find them very boring and unappealing, and I spend like 60 hours in those games trying to find... something. But no, I tried so hard that I actually fell asleep one day lol



I play games later at night, for about an hour before I go to sleep. So, sometimes I am tired, and I did fall asleep a few times while playing point-and-click adventures like The Walking Dead, Sherlock Holmes and The Order



Farcry 4 and AC Unity. I was very drunk both times. I cant play games like driveclub or bloodborne too drunk so it wont happen with more intensive games.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

I've never fallen asleep playing a game... if I'm too tired I just stop and go to sleep.
