g1 Service Announcement - Sleep
Sleep. We all need it, but as gamers, we often forget about it. Whether we participate in a marathon or just didn’t see time pass, we have a tendency to shorten our sleeping time. We really shouldn’t, so here I am to present you this g1 Service Announcement.
Is this you? A tired gamer waking up fatigued in the morning due to lack of sleep? Do you also have QWERTY printed on your forehead? Were you unable to save because you fell asleep with your handheld in your hands and the batteries died? Don’t you think it’s time you got “proper sleep”?

No more grinding for tonight! |
Proper sleep can be obtained easily by sleeping in an inn at your house or by using a cabin or a tent. If the conditions are right, it can be anywhere! If you’re on a long road without any towns in sight you can be sure a weird old lady or man will surely invite you in. When all else fails, just get to a bed and see where it goes.

That's all it takes! |
Sleep restores HP and MP and has been known to cure various diseases like poison, paralysis, curses and even death! Furthermore, being asleep prevents you from catching such diseases. Sleeping can also sometimes be excluded from your life time. In most cases, if you’re stuck in life, a good night sleep is just what you need to trigger an important event.

Yeah... except cancer. |
In the end, the benefits of sleep cannot be denied. That’s why all your favourite heroes take some time off during their important quest to nap or sleep. If you let Mario wait a little in Mario Galaxy or if young link without supervision they’ll take the opportunity for a quick nap. Even Kirby has a special nap time power up. They sleep because they need to.

The power to recover. |
So you decided to sleep? That’s good, but did you know that the more you sleep the better? After awaking, laying in bed for an extra 5 minutes adds the same amount of time to your life. No wonder all the big video game teens oversleep. Would Chrono or Serge have saved the world if they woke up in time? What about Link and Justin? The saying : “The early bird gets the worm” is simply false. There are plenty of better worms for those who wait.

Snooze that alarm clock! |
So before it’s too late, if you start feeling tired: Stop, drop and drool. Remember, just because you're sleeping doesn't mean your adventure stops. It's only the beginning!

I love sleeping. Sleeping into a comfortable bed is very essential for long time and deep sleeping. Gaming sometimes affects my sleeping in the night but still this type of post inspires me for gaming and sleeping as well. Thanks. bed sizes

I would be more supportive of this if I didn't have to do so much homework in so much little time.
bigjoe91
That's a bad excuse. You're just too lazy to go to sleep!
FrankHaggar
Nice little story, I should sleep more.
bigjoe91
You should. You're getting very very sleepy. You eyes are closing. You are about to give me all your money.
Fezzdogg
Great right up dude. Got a real kick out of it.
bigjoe91
You know what they say, a little sleep perks you right up.

My sleep schedule was disrupted when I realised I could play the DS in bed.
Downside, work performance could be better. Upside, successful few hours of level-grinding in 'Nostalgia'.

I'm a big game boy/DS in bed player myself. Unfortunately few hours of grinding were usually useless when I woke up with a dead DS...

I woke up with a dead DS once. I felt like I'd smothered my child in my sleep.
I mean, I recharged it and everything, but it never felt the same way about me since...
