10 Ways That Gaming Is Destroying Your Life

2) Sleeping Patterns

This is a follow on from the Social Life point, but with more emphasis on death. Humans need sleep. We do. It’s something that has to happen – along with a few other things – to keep us from visiting the Grim-reaper’s bungalow. However, gamers seem to think that sleeping is far too ‘mainstream’ and opt for sleeping as little as physically possible. This point is mostly directed at the grinders out there, as time is the name of the game. Want to level up?

You have to put the time in. Want to play with league players in Korea? Gotta put the time in. Before you know it, you’ll be either stuck on an alternate ‘day-night’ cycle – making studying and or going to work virtually impossible – or pushing yourself to stay up longer and longer until you start to lose your mind. However, for everyone else, your sleep deprived rambling corpse will be hilarious as you’ll exhibit signs of visual and auditorial hallucinations, graphic mood-swings and my favourite, micro-naps. Micro-naps causes the individual to sporadically and uncontrollably fall asleep. So, all your friends – if you have the misfortune to have any – can take advantage of you as you wander through an unsleeping illusory hell. Yay!
