Help me. I am the only one that falls asleep while playing? often i find myself in a complete relaxing condition while playing to the point to fall asleep. This have been annoying me for a long time, and i had consequences because of that, for example i got kickd out from dungeons, my character runs to a lot of mobs and get killed, ETC.
If im not the only one, what do you do in order to stay awake?
Same thing happens to me.
Usually while im in raid and theirs 10-20min between pulls, try and take a quick powernap but sometimes I dont wake up.
Been kicked out of a few guilds doing this.
A big part of staying awake is posture. If you’re in a reclined position, do what you can to force yourself to sit up straight.
If you still have trouble staying awake while playing but have also been getting a good amount of rest, I would speak to a physician about it, as it could be indicative of a sleep disorder.
Actually i play almost lying down over my gaming chair, so maybe that could be it.
But the fact that this only happens with WoW makes me curious, maybe this game is more relaxing than Apex/Tibia/Ragnarok, etc?

when repeating some activities in this game, it is so insanely boring that my mind often disconnects and I fall asleep briefly before my sound system wakes me up
this has been FAR more prevalent in Legion and BfA
Well, I’m not surprised that WoW holds your attention less strongly than Apex – I wouldn’t expect a FPS to take a back seat to an MMO in that regard.
In general though, people tend to subconsciously associate reclined positions with sleeping. This is a big reason why doctors diagnosing sleep issues will often tell patients not to participate in non-sleep activities in the bedroom or in bed (such as crafts, reading, etc). The mind will start to associate laying down with things other than sleeping, and that can make resting difficult. Similarly, that association can also take place in the opposite direction.
I’ve fallen asleep in warfronts 2 or 3 times ![:sleepy:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/sleepy.png?v=6" ":sleepy:")

There are stimulants available both legal and illegal that could keep you awake, also you could try listening to metal while you play.
While this can work as a stopgap measure in the short-term, I really wouldn’t recommend using such things as a permanent solution to difficulty maintaining wakefulness. Doing so can have some very detrimental effects on one’s ability to sleep normally.
If this is a consistent problem even outside of WoW, would definitely recommend speaking to a physician first, especially if one is considering using stimulants long-term.
I’ve fallen asleep once while I was in a bg and got kicked. I was so tired, I closed my eyes while waiting to rez.
I unsubbed this xpac because I was falling asleep every time I logged on.
Back in BC, I once tanked 80% of Heroic Underbog asleep. I warned my guild I was pretty much exhausted, but apparently I was able to keep driving Anyaka with the occasional snore. And someone else marking CC targets.
But the guild did mention I was doing pretty well at it. It was one of those things where you drop your head and your eyes close and you dream for a bit, but you’re still sort of functioning.
…I dunno. It was trippy.
There have been a few times I’ve woken up with my character running into a wall. I can’t say I’ve ever been kicked from a group, but my suggestion for you would be coffee. Coffee is the nectar of the gods.
Sounds to me like you need to do content that keeps you engaged.
Or maybe not lay down when you are playing games designed with long downtime between fights or while traveling.
Falling asleep mid mythic boss pull, because somehow blizzard decided that 80% of a fight should be boring and only the last 20% matters.
You haven’t lived until you fall asleep healing a dungeon. I’m just assuming they all died. Good times. That was way back in cata. Haven’t done any real dungeons since coming back.
It’s boring and a chore!
I have only ever fallen asleep once during a game, and it was a play-through of Civ 5.
I sort of nodded off for a few minutes.
When you are sleepy, go to sleep. Play when you are not sleepy.
I RP as Vanilla Malfurion on my druid and enter the “Emerald Dream” sometimes in the middle of dungeons… but don’t worry I’m not the worst Stormrage that ever was
