Strap on your headsets and grab your controllers, we're venturing into the fascinating realm of gamer sleep cycles! Have you ever wondered why we gamers are stereotypically associated with late-night marathons? Or how that impacts our brain's reward system? This week, we're turning off our screens and delving into this intriguing subject, sharing personal gaming updates and the hilarious excuses we make to keep gaming—no matter what.
We channel our inner scientists, exploring the latest research on adult sleep habits in the gaming community. We also debunk some game-changing myths about sleep and share some innovative sleep apps and systems that can improve your mental wellness. And for those Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy fans, be prepared for an exciting discussion about the upcoming crossover! The conversation gets more intense as we highlight gaming as a skill and its connection to developmental psychology.
But we don't stop at research; we share our personal experiences too. From strategies to cope with insomnia, to our individual bedtime routines—we're laying it all on the table. Hear about Jean's recent injury that's keeping him away from fighting games and learn how we manage the effects of blue light from gaming devices on our sleep. We wrap up with the importance of a healthy sleep schedule, especially for us gamers, and why consulting a primary care physician is vital when dealing with insomnia. Consider this your ultimate guide to understanding sleep patterns and its impact on your gaming and overall wellness!
