    I've had a funny game related episode before myself.... I was playing Ages Of Empire (Some years back) with my boy and we'd played this shit for god knows how many hours straight, sat close to the monitor..... in the dark (Huge mistake)

    Anyway after we finished and went to go to sleep I just couldn't get to sleep and my brain was still playing the game I could still hear it and shit, I was buggin and started asking my boy questions that didn't even make any sense babbling some crazy shit, I didn't get any sleep for hours and I couldn't settle.... it was a strange experience, didn't seem to affect the other guy....

    Anyway what this type of thing is down to is a combination of playing too long and the radiation from the monitor, don't play mentally taxing games for too long periods especially before you sleep or your brain won't be able to turn off to sleep, this is a well known fact. If you can't sleep watch some TV that will help your brain shut down.

    It's never happened again since, also keep the brightness on the monitor low and the lights ON. I'd say it was a dead cert that whatever happened was related to you playing on a monitor for 12 hours....

    The only thing close to an electric shock that I can think of was after I'd been sat down clocking MGS 2 for a good few hours and I stood up after the end credits and got the monster of all head rushes, I nearly passed out holding the wall stumbling around, the only way I could describe it at the time was it felt like I'd been electrecuted. Actually now I think of it, it sounds very similar to what you described cos at the time I had no idea it was just an extreme head rush... I was like WTF's going on, cos it left me feeling weak and confused

    If you people have trouble sleeping, just take some f*cking sleeping pills. Works for me.... (Yes even after 12 hours of a mind killing game like CivIII)

    well what u described reminds me of when i turn my neck to quick and i get a quick shot of pain and heat in my neck but it only lasts 3-4 seconds.

    after 12hrs looking straight u probably popped something in your neck when u finally moved mroe then a couple inches side to side.

    honestly, asking medical advice on a warez forum isn't going to help much (besides generate some laughs - the best medicine!).. i reccomend you get some professional advice from a doctor.

    What you described is known as several things:

    Stress Sleep
    Waking Dreams
    Nocturnal Paralysis

    In addition to its occurence in healthy people,
    sleep paralysis is also commonly seen in certain
    sleep disorders, especially narcolepsy.

    The condition has clearly fascinated sleep
    specialists over the years, and knowledge has
    accumulated. We now know the following:


    While approximately half the population has
    experienced sleep paralysis, its frequency in any
    individual is rare; my few episodes over several
    decades is probably typical.

    Most attacks start suddenly, last a few minutes
    and end gradually. However, cases have been
    described (in narcolepsy) lasting over one hour.

    It occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep,
    that sleep stage when the body is naturally
    paralyzed or "atonic." For some reason, the
    indivdual wakes up during REM sleep and then
    realizes he/she cannot move.

    Although full consciousness is usually preserved,
    there may be rapid alternation between sleep
    paralysis and dreaming, with distortion or absence
    of time sense (on one occasion I thought I heard
    people talking in the room, which was not so).

    A rare form of sleep paralysis is associated with
    terrifying visual hallucinations. The individual
    is wide awake yet paralysed, and envisions some
    creature trying to harm them. The best described
    vision is that of a small malevolent creature that
    straddles the victim; the creature either
    compresses the chest or attemps to strangulate
    the victim, and the feeling is that the creature
    is actively trying to kill the sleeper.

    This experience is depicted in Fuseli's Nightmare
    (1781). There is a rare disorder of familial sleep
    paralysis, but most cases are of the isolated
    variety. More common than familial or isolated,
    is sleep paralysis with narcolepsy - between 17
    and 50% of narcoleptics experience it.

    Narcoleptics may also experience more than one sleep
    paralysis episode a night.

    Have a nice day.

    Hey, man I think you have Nocturnal seizures , it's some kind of epilepsy. Got this from a webpage:

    "Some people experience seizures only during sleep. As these will usually be at night they are called nocturnal seizures. These seizures could also occur during the day if the person were to fall asleep. This does not describe the form that the seizures take, only the time when they occur."

    If you want more info, then get your butt over here: http://www.epilepsynse.org.uk/pages/...s/seizures.cfm

    And go to a doctor!

    I've the exact same thing, when I work till dawn in the end of a project-phase. When I'm finally about to fall asleep after 14h of work in front of the monitor, I sometimes get that "electric shock effect" coming with the "buzzing sound in my head" too, which lets me suddenly awake with a fast heartbeat. I never noticed any pain though...

    It's just due to a lack of sleep and the rigid posture of the neck, as someone already said above.

    Since I do more breaks during work and go for a short walk after a few hours in front of the computer, it's gone.

    I think that the best thing to do is just stop worrying. 99% of these cases are nothing. You gotta stop thinking about it, it's most likely all mental. Just relax, go somewhere and have a pleasant conversation with someone and stop worrying. The more you think about it, the worse you get.

    hey atreju i think thats the same thing ive got, and i think the pain i felt was just mental, and not physical. Its definatley not sleep paralysis like some1 else sugested because thats when u remain paralysed after u wake up(ur always paralysed wen u sleep so u wont act out ur dreams) and u imagine things (u keep dreaming wen u are awake and u usually think u will die)...
