Blake and Aydin - Is it possible for teens to be addicted to video games and get enough sleep?
Does it affect your sleep patterns?
It increases the 1/4 of the time it takes you to fall asleep. (every day)
ex: if it takes you one hour to sleep then it will make it one hour 15 minutes
YES it does affect your sleep because when you play a game with a lot of moving and rapid movement your has to adapt to the fast movement and when you sleep the brain still thinks it has to adapt in some ways to the fast movement.
Away this happens is that to comprehend games fast movements your pupils dilate down so you can quickly keep moving them when having to look at a screen. Plus it takes time for the eyes to dilate up.
How does it affect you?
Studies have shown that video gamers were able to get a good night's if they just played for one hour before bedtime but any past that starts affecting you.
People who play 150 minutes (2hrs 30mins)minutes lost 27 minutes of sleep, and it took 39 minutes for them to fall asleep. People take 30 minutes or less to doze off.

C.O.D (Call of duty)
this game makes you so involved that it would slightly change your personality a bit
it makes you less happy and thin/talk more about weapons
Another way your behaviour can change is that you believe in the game you can do anything you want but when it comes to real life gamers cannot tell the difference so a very frustrated and furious behaviour comes in and takes over
How do you know if you are addicted to video games?
signs that you are addicted
You can determine importance not only by how much you’re doing it but also by how much you’re not doing other things. Priority equals importance. this means that people play more video games and not get enough sleep.
If you are addicted to video games it means that you play more than two hours. You only talk about video games. Plus if you waste more than 100 dollars a week on a game.
