Specifically violent games for 50-150 minutes or all games in general?

Doesn't seem to be alot of info on the control variables not to mention the very small target audience of 17 people. What else were they doing? Were they over tired, do they do anything to help them relax when falling asleep such as listening to music, etc? Did they have any stimulants before hand such as coffee?

Scientists actually reckon that it's not how much sleep that you have but the quality of it that is more important. Did they actually feel better rested after sleep if they played a game or not?

I wouldn't expect games to be just the only factor in that, anything could lead to it, stress, tv, etc. Likelyhood is that if someone does this pretty much every night to the point it's a habit, then the body will adapt anyway.

I know this has been taken from another article, but it just seems like a very poorly attempted study for the sake of trying to complain about violent games again.

I play video games 6-8 hours a day as a 9th grader in High school,and I see no negative effects. I still have a 3.2222 GPA out of 4.

Seems sort of obvious, honestly. Though I don't think it's necessarily exclusively pertaining to "violent" video games, but action-oriented games in general.

You can't get your mind racing and then just shut it off the same way you could if you were already relaxed.

I usually game before going to sleep and once I make it to bed I crash within 10-15 minutes and thats because I am watching tv and I get caught into the shows instead of actually attempting to go to sleep. For this study to be more accurate they would have to get hundreds of individuals so they can compare the results.

i remember ages ago i had played super smash bros. 64 all night and when i finally pried myself away for some sleep in the early morning i could not stop my mind from racing for the life of me. couldn't fall asleep for hours, it was actually kinda awful.

however anymore i do game often before bed and feel that i rest pretty well. i think the former was a case of really bad overstimulation.

This study has been supported by Fox News and Jack Thompson.

Love it how they only tested males playing only violent video games. You would think they would have at least did a better job than this to bash video games. I play violent games all the time, infact I still get a good night sleep and perform well in school. Playing too much games actually makes me feel sluggish and tired (usually 2 - 3 hours non-stop).
