How do you sleep after being in SL?

I've been wondering. How is your sleep after playing? Perhaps it's because I play so late at night, but I have found that the nights after I've been in SL...I sleep very well, with lots of dreams! What about you?

I always thought SL was the dreaming.... and/or nightmare bit.....

When I started in SL, I overdosed
It was like a drug.

In my dreams, I was in SL as RL me. I slept wonderfully. Well, of course you would do if you managed to snuggle up under a nice warm duvet before you totally crashed.

I understand that a rich dream life is a healthy sign. Your brain is stimulated. You need to resolve things that have arisen during your waking hours.

If you have repetitive dreams, this indicates an unresolved problem.
If your dreams are not repetitive, this indicates that you are probably having a ball

I could be wrong about all of this.
Beware of free advice!

I sleep well too! But the beer & vodka helps too!

Most of this rings true - dreaming is certainly healthy - I recently started dreaming again, quite lucidly, like when I was a kid, and it was a welcome return.

When I fisrt started SL, many many hours online led to very good sleep... before the next stint. But then RL seemed a bit skewed, like... the trees are not phantom....OMGZ!

In the nip.

I have been in SL the last few days quite a few hours and I was just thinking last night how my mind was still in SL wandering around while my eyes were closed. Just then I remembered there was one more thing I had to do...

After playing SL, I sleep standing up with my head slumped forward.

I sleep much better now I have a high backed computer chair.
Sleeping just means logging back in as a different character although can't seem to find other interesting AV's to interact with, it's almost like they are just fabrications of my warped mind.

I usually die asleep,
after a day afk mostly then back! and running my fool head off in SL
or stop in to top off a RL busy day!
When I 1st joined I use to see naked avies like taskbars trying to sleep and I didn't even go to sexy places! but as a newb you are still inundated in a new visual by the maturity.
And that was surprising the 1st week or 2.
My dreams still remain RL rooted.
But what about waking up? ...whatever that REM is just before waking?
Some times rarely, my brain turns over on a build, seeing it, how to do it 'ahh!'
Even if it's beyond my know how.
When I was wrapped and had a Partner I use hear them addressing me,
just talking or "Wake up!" and I'd snap awake :?

Sleeping less than I should - SL seems to suck up time into a vacuum... but having very vivid dreams again, almost like a second childhood yay.. gotta love technicolor surround sound dreams

That thing you call 'Real Life' is merely my avatar's dreams.

Sleep isn't the issue, it's logging out.

Logging in, the reality melts away, replaced with the gentle cool geometry of red, blue and green infinities...

...within short order, the 'other world' isn't even perceptible - distant far beyond the digital sun and moon, far beyond the highest orbit, bent away so far as to not even exist.

Logging out is like having one's body ripped away, and standing before... well, maybe my RL cat, not exactly a diety or anything. Jarring. Unbelievable. Brutal in its immediacy.

But tiredness carries over. Strange as this gritty world is, I sleep well here, safe from time dilation, lag, derezzing or other common ills.

So true! I get a lot of "I thought you were leaving?" ... 40 mins later...

Sleep? What is that? Those times I seem to "black out" for hours at a time, becoming aware again with the sun or moon in a different position? Often with different friends around, or someone who was standing next to me gone? Sometimes, the strangest times, even in an entirely different sim?!??

It's a lot like that relogging thing, or crashing, only it seems to take much, much longer...

/me shudders

"sleep" hmm? Worse than that "afk"ness...

My hubby used to have horrible nightmares, night after night. Now he dreams SL and he's happy. Works for me

We won't worry about the psychology of it....as long as he's not having those nightmares anymore!

I have sleep apnea so going to bed is a huge chore. I have to set up my CPAP machine, put on my mask and adjust it... Once I fall asleep, I am usually out until my mask needs re-adjustment.

My wife says it is like sleeping with Darth Vader.

"G"

I've found the opposite - after being in SL late at night I have a hard time winding down and getting to sleep, and tend to be more wakeful when I do drop off. On the other hand, I have had some extremely vivid dreams since coming here...

I dont "sleep" - I crash out.

For the most part, I sleep well, no real difference whether I'm in SL or not.

Any new daytime activity usually shows up in dreams, I've found - the brain's way of processing new information. When I first joined SL I had very vivid dreams - about SL in the main - but now it's so much a fact of my daily life it impacts on my dream life hardly at all.

I sleep like a log, sadly just never for as long as I need. Course, this depends what I have been DOING ...

Sleep? What's that?

I don't have any problem getting to sleep at all, but as others have mentioned, sometimes late nights staying inworld are an issue and waking up the next morning - now there's the real problem.

Occassionally, some things creep into my dreams, but, I like the things that do
