Sleeping is for Casual Gamers.
Fact. True Gamers (Hardcore Gamers) never goes to sleep.
IE.. I always pretend I'm sleeping when actually I'm using my brain to play Tetris (eyes closed). And the funny thing is that it works!

It's called the Tetris Effect:

Agree with Vlad. The sleep after holding out for nearly 40 hours is quite a thing. Some of the best sleeps a person can have.

     I've had my share of experiencing the Tetris Effect.  Most recently it's with Fallout 3.  My wife was desperate for finding bobby pins, because she breaks them all the time.  So, everytime either of us would see one of her bobby pins laying around the house we'd be "A bobby pin!!  Oh....wait."

Lol Great! Just Great!
I'm playing Fallout 3 too, but I have yet to dream about Capital Wasteland. :D

I had a dream once about Eternal Darkness. I was walking around in the Library (the mansion hub).
And I was really proud of myself because I knew all illusions were harmless. lol



yay I bought sleep aids today. Hopefully they work. As for the guys asserting that sex is a good way to go to sleep... yeah really. From what I've experienced it puts me to sleep but often enough somewhere in the middle of my sleep the guy either starts back up again or does something like sucking on my nipple that makes it difficult to sleep. In which case I grumble something like jesus not now and roll over. I applaud those of you who give the girl a good 8 hours of sleep before you start doing that.

The only time I can't sleep is if I study too much. I studied for at least 6-7 hour today, may be 8. I hope I can sleep... I played super mario sunshine, so that should help/ That game is th ebest for sleeping. Its so relaxing, especially gelato beach level.
