Sleeping from 9 pm to 9 am.. It feels great!!

How could it happen? I call this phenomenon the Mass Effect. Some of my gamer friends might have been there done that. Well it is not difficult to imagine or understand.

It all began a day ago, when I started playing this intense game called Mass Effect 2. The game was so engaging and brilliant that I almost forgot to sleep one night. I kept playing the game all night to realize it when the brightness of my window increased with the rising sun. It was a bright sunny winter morning at Kolkata. Although it felt a bit unusual to see night turn into day when you keep playing your game. But, it is the well-crafted game's hallucinating power to keep you amazed and engaged.

my windows: one to real-world and one to surreal-world

I won't say that I didn't get a warning. Around 5 am in the morning all the birds of IIMC sanctuary (yes, it is a bird sanctuary), gave me an alarm "dude, it is 5, go to sleep". I had snoozed it to realize later when the sun was bright. I kept playing when I realized that it was 7 am, it was then that i decided to exit the game and get some sleep I had a lecture to attend in at 10. But reaching to the exit button wasn't possible till it was 8.

Slept for about 2 hours and then attended lectures till 4 pm. I rushed to my room as soon as it got over, and logged into to world of Mass Effect to save the Universe. Fighting, negotiating, rescuing people, space traveling, mining precious metals, I kept on going till 8 pm. After I had dinner, I just fell into my bed and slept like a log. 9 to 9. Straight 12 hours. Waking up fresh. Its exhilarating. I feeling climbing a mountain, rafting down river, walking a thousand miles. Energy level at 100%. It feels great!!

Did I tell you that I did a all-nighter once again. :-P

Mass Effect 2 is a great game. You must do it sometime. I hope it doesn't take me more than one night to finish it all up.
