My little girl has been keeping me up lots lately cos her teeth are starting to come through. Around midnight when she wakes balling her eyes, i'll get her and start a race cos its puts her in a trance watching all the cars zoom about, not only does she fall asleep but i've started too! The last 3 times ive been asleep for over an hour with the car tucked up nicely against the barrier.
 
I've been playing driving and racing games for a looonnnggg time. well, relatively the PS2/PS3 age. I had NFS U1 and U2, those were alright. Then I had GT3 and GT4, but mainly GT4. I fell asleep alot in GT4, the drone of the race engines, the repetitiveness... it made me sleepy.


And then GT5. lately, I've been nodding off, ALOT. Why?

because the points and rewards systems were so friggin HIGH.

Now that the seasonal events are triple rewards as of these past few days, my eyes are peeled back, reeling in 490k in 5min34seconds, and now 504k in 3min40seconds.

it needs to be more interactive. regular races aren't worth the time...
 
Sleeping was not what exactly had happened to me, but something like being there and not being there at the same time. Not thinking, not driving, just staring as if brain frozen. I am not sure if you define this as sleeping with your eyes wide open.

I am a heavy sleeper (and I love it) and sometimes when Im having a couple of late night gamings, I doze off when Im waiting for a race to start. I usually have my mic on and so people in my room will sometimes hear my snoring. :dopey:

You are obviously married?
 
Fell asleep during the Nurburgring 4h. Bl**dy DS3 woke me up abruptly when I hit a barrier and I damn near shat myself!!
 
Earlier this evening I was playing through Polyphony Digital Cup on A-Spec and I had a lap and a half left to go on Grand Valley Speedway and I dozed off. I don't remember the final lap, but I woke up an hour or so later and I was back at the GT Life menu. I looked at the TV very confused :dunce: so I went and checked and somehow I ended up with a gold trophy. :confused:
 
I went off to sleep for the first playing GT5 last week. It was due to me being up for almost 24 hours though. I will never do that again.
 
I fell asleep on my hand during bspec and woke up in the morning with a sprained wrist :( Also I saw a dude online fall asleep at the 'ring - he got woken up by the laughter :)
 
I've fallen asleep while I was supposed to be directing my bspec... and that didn't end well.
But I've never fallen asleep while actually driving in the game myself.
I have, however, occasionally started daydreaming, and completely missed a turn now & again because of that. :lol:
(Never had daydreaming nor falling asleep ever happen while driving in real life. There just seems to be something missing in the game, to prevent that sort of thing. I think the fact that you know you won't get a concussion or die if you crash in the game. ;))
 
One of the guys I regularly race with fell asleep twice during an online session last night, both times he had already chosen a car and started free runs.
The rest of us found it hard to concentrate on racing as we could all hear him snoring over his headset! (and the speech bubble coming up in the lobby whenever he snored was also ridiculously funny!)
We even started the race and started bumping his stationary car to set his DS3 off, in the hope of waking him up!! (Didn't work)

Funniest night of online racing ever!
 
Indy Endro put me to sleep twice, it was just so utterly boring. In the end I grabbed my MP3 player and blasted high bpm electronic music, I enjoyed the last part.

I managed Grand Valley without falling asleep, but that was because I was trying to keep the rubber fresh for as long as possible, so I was babying the throttle.
 
I fell asleep buying cars yesterday. I have dosed off before, but never asleep while driving GT5.

On a side note I did fall asleep at the wheel in my 2001 4 door Nissan Frontier truck doing 70 mph once. It crossed the road, crashed into a rock wall at about 30 degree angle. Airbags went off, just as I awoke, sounded like a shotgun, and the seatbelt preserved me from flying out. I broke the glass window with my feet (adrenaline) because my door was jammed and the passenger side was crushed. Pulled out a couple belongings just before it burnt to the ground. All 4 wheels were shattered, the cab was mostly crushed and the truck was completely destroyed.

Somehow, noone was hurt, fortunately it was a very low volume highway. I had a bruise across my neck from the belt, and a few cuts near my hamstrings. Lost all my CD's, my wallet, and my 10 month old truck :(

The moral of the story is don't take drowsy allergy medicine while driving.
 
I don't fall asleep but I definitely get tired and bored after a few drift laps. I think it's because I've mastered my technique. I wonder if I tried to drift in real life like I drift in GT5, would it work out just as well? Hmmm...
 
Never while driving, but while collecting from my bobs and switching accounts I have woken up 15 to 30 minutes later.
 
Gotta luv going into a drift room or daytona room then waking up 3 hrs later wondering why "your" car is sitting in the middle of a random track and ya dont know why :p
 
I can't tell you how many times I've been pluggin' away down Mulsane, or Dottinger Hohe, or even the straight on Fuji only to be awaken by my madly vibrating DS3 and my car up against a wall.
