Anyone else find it hard to sleep after playing Quake? I don't know if Quake brings out some primal fight or flight instinct that fills me with adrenaline or what but sometimes it can take me a good hour or more to wind down after a night playing like tonight. Ever play so much Quake you jump around and frag people in your dreams?

Not for me, i'm normally ready to sleep after playing a few games.
But that might be to do with my working conditions atm though with a silly start time. *fml*

I've always needed an extra hour or so after I lie down to actually fall asleep, but after being mentally or physically active, I try to read something or watch something on my phone for a bit. My body begins to calm down and tell me "yo buddy, let's get some shut eye already" and it becomes a lot easier.

My dreams are about lascivious and lewd barmaids and an open tab in the bar...  |

It depends for me. If I've been going hardcore (with something like higher level Clan Arena or Duel, or a scrim), then I'll be exhausted enough to just fall asleep right away. Last night, by the end I was swaying in my seat from how tired I got! Normally, I do need a little bit- maybe half an hour or so of non-action, non-Quake games or human interaction to get myself calmed down enough to sleep.

Normally I tend to want to play more but don't think I have a problem to sleep right after. I think it even helps since my brain is exhausted. Yesterday I got a migraine (which is really not new for my case) but I can't tell if it's because of playing a long time or my medical condition (which is unknown). I take time to let you know that I might be less present starting next week since I will start to work again (3 months without a job... which is why I played Quake so often). So I will need some sleep and I have to wake-up early which is not my thing. Will try to play every week nights, but not for hours as I usually did the last 3 months.  |

I have no problem winding down. I just grab a couple of Candy Bars, and watch some 60's and 70's Sitcoms..

Good luck, Blackpearl! Just play when you can- there are more important things than Quake, after all! I guess that goes to everyone out there as well |
