Niryco Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Something is wrong with me, after playing this game for more than a year and seeing all these changes, somehow or rather playing survival or endless defense makes me sleepy. Usually i could go on to about 30 to 40 or 60 minutes a-ok pumped and ready to kill even more enemies, waves maybe 30 to 45. However as of late, even getting past 5 minutes for survival or 10 waves in defense, i start to yawn. Once it is 10 to 15 minutes i start to drift and there were times i just slept right in the midst of combat for about 3 minutes. Although i keep trying to stay awake, so that i can end up to around 30 minutes as the standard time, going past 30 minutes is hard now simply because when i become sleepy everything becomes so sloppy and slow. Is this like normal? To feel sleeply surviving? Even going survival solo i become sleepier even faster and having ventured through the solar system, playing each survival map again and again, I am starting to sleep faster and faster. But what is even more odd, i am killing about 2 to 4 times more than i did O.O Last time kills ranged from 100 to at most 300 but now even at 30 minutes i am getting roughly 600 to 700 kills, i don't know what is happening but feeling sleepy, dying more but getting more kills..... Can't play survival anymore too since i usually request leaving at 15 minutes before i start dosing off infront of my keyboard, is there also anyway reduce the sleepiness or well to improve my mental stamina? Even sleeping for 10 hours straight, i would still zone out within the same span of time before going to sleep. Help anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestral9999 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Inject pure caffeine extract into your eyeballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alad_VI Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Speak to a doctor about the problem. Even if it's just a contained incident, it could be the start of a sleeping or an attention disorder. By no means am I a medical professional, this is just my suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niryco Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Inject pure caffeine extract into your eyeballs. Tried drinking coffee and tea and it only seems to work for just one mission before i start dozing off, but that is around 25 minutes before the effects wear off. Also how can i inject caffeine extract into my eyeballs? Speak to a doctor about the problem. Even if it's just a contained incident, it could be the start of a sleeping or an attention disorder. By no means am I a medical professional, this is just my suggestion. Now i am scared, will try to ask my doctor on it.

Kurrumitsumi Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 use less op wepons? if your killing everything super fast and its really easy i can see how it would be boring, using a more challenging wepon could keep you awake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get to 20 minutes but couldn't hold it any longer, but atleast gained about 11 levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renjenku Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Play something else or do something else for a while, change up your habits. You have what's called too much time on your hands disorder. Once you return, your symptoms may be gone and you may feel refreshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was joking about the eyeball part. . .Personally, you should see your doctor, because while it may not seem as apparent as it is, there are a /lot/ of problems that affect people the most when just playing a simple (And warframe's definitely the bane of an epileptic) video game. There's even instructions for health "If you start to feel fatigued while playing take a 15 minute break, take a 15 minute break at least every hour, see your doctor if you have any concerns."

Redhux Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Yes it is natural since it is really boring. You should pay a try to Interceptions, at least you have to keep your mobility ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--Sokol Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) My friend and I get that sometimes too. It's been only 20 minutes in but it seems like an hour has passed. I think I fell asleep as well during T3 or T4 Survival. Granted it doesn't make us sleepy, but it gets boring. Does this happen with any other game that you play for 30-40 minutes w/o breaks?

Letter13 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 This happens to me all the time. Has to do with repetitive actions/behavior being soothing. After a while your brain figures that it's repetitive enough that it doesn't need to maintain focus on it to actually do it. Sort of like autopilot in a sense. It's an every now-and-then sort of thing too. Usually if I'm playing solo, don't have people to chat with over teamspeak, etc. When you get really used to something, your mind has to work less and less to do it well.

TheGuy08 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Dude you have been playing a year and it is normal to get burned out. It is really normal. Go play something else or take a break from video games. Edited August 7, 2014 by TheGuy08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the exact feeling i get, but it is like combatting auto-pilot and performing all the dodges too. Dude you have been playing a year and it is normal to get burned out.It is really normal. Go play something else or take a break from video games. Now getting onto BF4 and borderlands, but the sleepiness sometimes pops up too, last time for another game world of tanks it was similar where i fell sleepy, but atleast the exhaustion is justified because i would have been playing 5 to 8 hours a day on average for WOT, for survival it is like the very first match i get on when i come home and i want to sleep.

Ravensaurus Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well, I'm not falling asleep while I'm playing a survival. However, sometimes I really get bored and I yawn a lot. Not always... But yeah. Too repetitive to do over and over and over... Especially for more han 40 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niryco Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Does this happen with any other game that you play for 30-40 minutes w/o breaks? Some times it does for BF 4 or borderlands, but it would be about a few hours maybe 5 hours to 10 hours before i feel like i want to sleep. Warframe is different, the very first game even after waking up from a 10 hours sleep makes me want to sleep all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem seems to be that these missions are the only ones you do (although I may be wrong). It helps to do alerts as they appear, and switch around your loadouts often that way you never really get used to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do those often too, since my cash levels are low and i need to sustain me two lovely Kubrows (well one at a time that is) but once i click survival or endless defense, it just starts again, also the reason i mostly do survival is to farm for rare mods to trade for plat and exp(efficient exp).
