Falling asleep while watching VODs

Recently I noticed I tend to fall asleep while watching pro Korean games on youtube (obviously it's pretty much impossible to drift off when the volume is turned up --> the korean commentary is too electrifying ).

I seem to fall asleep mostly when watching protoss games and terran games, especially pvp, pvt, tvt, and tvp. Interestingly enough I can never fall asleep when watching games involving zerg

So, anyway, I doubt anyone will want to read this and/or find it even remotely interesting. Just thought I'd throw it out there...

On a side note, I plan to play sc2 when it comes it out, and so far in bw I'm a toss player (I would like to play zerg but my apm is too rubbish and my muta micro is nonexistent).

Thanks for reading

i use VODs as a way to fall asleep when taking a nap. maybe it's because the korean commentary acts as white noise since i dont understand it. and I use ones that are 15-20 minutes, so i dont sleep too long. it's strange that i usually wake up soon after the VOD finishes.

Same lol.

Also, the protoss are probably practicing their mine tricks on you again with their High Templar warriors. The new trick is a sleep storm which causes a SC1's storms radius of sleep(lockdown except with unit sleeping animation instead and it works on al bio units) to any biological enemies hit by the storm when done by a Master of the sleep storm but only does it in a SCII's storm's radius when done by a HT who has not fully mastered it.

I've started using VODs to fall asleep within the past few months It only works if I watch them with the intent that I'm going to fall asleep.

They've helped my cure my insomnia/bad sleeping habits, amazing.

Never happened to me before. I usually just watch the top vods on youtube (most viewed of the day) and a few from the recommended vods thread if that.

If you're falling asleep while watching, it's probably not due to boredom but rather sleepiness.

If I can't sleep I look for a long TvT BW vod and that usually lets me fall asleep.

I used to watch VODs all the time around 4-6 pm and I'd fall asleep after the third or fourth game. Now I feel so comfortable taking naps around that time :V

I have watched BW vods on my phone a few times to help me fall asleep. I don't think it is the fact it is Starcraft but more the fact I am tired and it is a good distraction. If I don't watch SC or listen to music or something I keep myself awake for hours in bed just thinking about useless things.

It always happen to me. keke. I did not watch VOD. I fall asleep while watching live game keke.

The recently I fall asleep is SKT T1 vs WeMadeFox. I fall asleep during Best match keke. Because I watch the match only for Fantasy and Bisu match. When Bisu match really came, I am half awake - half asleep and within 2 minute I am knocked out keke. When I wake up it is 10pm. And I just sleep for the rest of the day. I didn't even off the computer. Ah, so sleepy.

I fell asleep today actually watching the Flash vs. Free vod (right after the 2nd half of Brazil vs. Chile). I haven't even been taking naps recently either.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Long TvT games put me to sleep no problem, which is why I avoid them during pl matches, lol. Actually, they don't even have to be that long. Something about that matchup bores the crap out of me.

yes, when i am tired and i play starcraft, as soon as i hear the first "you must construct additional pylons", i get angry and i wake up and am fine, but i cannot even attempt to play SC2 a bit tired, i have come very close to falling asleep playing.
