Have you ever fallen asleep at the keyboard playing a mmorpg?

Supernerd

What game was it?

Please share your story.

 

I don't think i have narcolepsy,

It really makes me mad when i wake up with my face firmly planted on my keyboard,

in a puddle of my own drool.

 

i guess it usually only happens to me on weekends,when there's nothin to do.

i try and play for 30+ hours straight and gain a lot of levels and powerlevel.

 

i have fallen asleep at the keyboard so many times;people have actually heard me snore on vent before.

One of the last times I fell asleep at the keyboard i think I was playing Vanguard.

If you think i fell asleep out of boredom you're wrong.

It was a 2X exp weekend and I was tryin to get to 50 before the rest of my guild.

Unfortunately,i ran out of mountain dew and was gettin really sleepy around 25 straight hours.

The next thing i remember waking up and the servers were down.

I was so mad cause i was still level 48,

 

I have fallen asleep playin WoW.... tryin to make it to 60 in one play session.

I have fallen asleep playin Swg when i was tryin to farm holos.

I most recently  fell asleep in Lotro,tryin to catch up on all my deeds;i played almost 40 hours straight.

 

I have fallen asleep a lot more too,but i just can't remember all the times.

I guess it's just part of the price I pay for being an elite gamer,

I've fallen asleep in SWG, EVE, and WoW.    Usually its waiting for someone in game, or for something in game, like shuttles, automatic pilot, and gryphons.

i fell asleep on Final fantasy 11 waiting for a group in the dunes. if any one else reads this and has experienced waiting for a group in the dunes they would know what its like. also ive fallen asleep while running some were in Quifum island and woke up in the afternoon finding my character not dead. it was a miracle.

I have fallen asleep in WoW a few times during late night raiding lol, well actually it was more of a power nap than anything else. It was when we'd wipe in AQ40 and than had to drink and rez everyone because we were too far deep and they didnt have the teleport gnome back than. It was the perfect situation for a power nap and it really refreshes you, I definately recommend it

Not since my days of playing EQ.  When i'm sleepy now, I just go to sleep.

Haha omg FFXI dunes, most retarded MMO IMO and the wait time made me fall asleep. 2 AM and only 3 people in the group oh the nightmares!

Power naps never work for me.

I used to try to do them waiting for a raid to reorganize after a wipe,

But if im really tired,i just fall asleep and wake up like 8 hours later.

So i stopped tryin those.

I have fallen asleep in Lower Guk too.

 

I think the main thing for me is how tired I am before my marathon of powerleveling,

Like,if i sleep all day Thursday,I can for sure go 30/35+ hours with Mountain Dew before getting heavy eyelids.

But if i only sleep 10 or so hours on Thursday; i can sometimes get sleepy after only 20 or so hours.

Going that long with no sleep can cause insanity

Hah quite a bit when I was addicted to EQ. Mostly when playing my cleric in DL. It was just so repetitive and levels were so hard to get there. I would usually do homework or stay up late and fall asleep hehe.

Falling asleep was hard on my part because our raid leader was loud and Australian so that was never possible lol, so I had to settle for the power naps.

Even worse....I have passed out drunk at the keyboard....

But I am guilty of dozing off grinding in WoW numerous occasions.

lol

Manestream

Almost with Guild Wars, but luckily not

I used to fall asleep all the time at the computer when I was in jr.high and maybe my first year of highschool.

After that though, I began to go to sleep when I got tired. I prefer to stay on schedule, even if I fail that more often than not, lol. But I always go to bed to go to sleep.

But like I said, in Jr.High I'd do it ALL THE TIME, on every game. I'm sure I have several times on EQ, Starcraft, and Civilization.

In Jr.High I'd stay up for days straight without sleep. Now I can't go longer than 30 hours.

My friend who was 16 at the time (and hadn't finished puberty) would always fall asleep when we were raiding in WOW.  Whenever we would wipe in MC or onyxia, we would take about 10-15 minutes to get everything back together.  Sure enough, he would miss the ready check. 

We had many ideas on trying to wake him up ranging from screaming in vent as loud as we could to calling his parents and having them wake him up.

EQ - Sebelis  .. woke up with    " tyughjb"  typed into my forhead..

Seen lots of groupmembers in Seb and Char falling aslepp = they ran i circles for hours..

sometimes when i want to sleep, i put the keyboard on my head so that no keys will get pressed.

I am also guilty of falling asleep during a couple of MC raids, woke up to find my char standing by himself with alot of tells on my scrren lol.

Me too I'm afraid. It's a shame, but WOW puts me asleep all the time now. I loved it like for two years, but just thinking about all that rep grinding makes me tired now.
