Haven't fallen asleep while gaming, but i did fall asleep while doing a design in photoshop.
And once while watching Flabber on the PC (back when i had a dxr2 card... lovely lovely card)

I have gotten tired while gaming but I drag myself away before actually falling asleep. Though I did once nod off while modding. I had a bug in one of my scripts and I was really wanting to fix it, test it and upload it before going to bed. Unfortunately the bug was not the obvious typo I was hoping for and I wound up going line by line until my eyes began cross from staring at the screen. It was getting late but I told myself that if I just rubbed my eyes and took a few deep breaths I would be rejuvenated enough to keep going. So I did. And I wasn't. I woke up and it was about 45 minutes later. I decided to just save my work and go to bed, but my script had changed a bit. When I tell people that I can write code in my sleep... it's true! It's just not very good code. Now I would have expected some sort of gibberish like:
Fgfgffghjgkh ljlklklkljhgrt
ghjkhgufjgh fesw nji
But what I got was actual words! Taken as a whole it was incoherent gibberish however:
If blue fish == monkey mother
then set dishes on end +1 blanket (bagel]
I'm so glad that I saw that before hitting Save.

Assuming it's atypical for you to have this happen, have you ever fallen asleep while gaming? Did you blame the game?

I once almost fell asleep while trying to sing on one of my several singing games. I barely kept my eyes open to turn off the machine. then I went on my computer and stayed up for about 3 more hours... other then that, I've never had it happen.

Ah, at least I am not alone! Exhaustion actually just came over me (10:45pm) even though I typically stay up much later. It sounds like I should just stick with PC gaming as I sit on a stool instead of a recliner and have much less likelihood of falling asleep. :)

Loads of times in single player console games, usually RPGs in which I'm powerleveling or doing something monotonous (looking at you Disgaea.)
Nothing has sent me to sleep easier than watching darts be played though. My brother is a semi-professional darts player and when I was younger I had to go watch his games in lakeside etc. I don't think I ever lasted longer than 10-20 minutes regardless of how noisy the place was.

I've fallen asleep during the Silent Hill games, but I was never playing them and I've never fallen asleep while playing a game.

Weird moment for me falling asleep while gaming is every time I play the Halo 3 campaign completely I always accidently fall asleep every time I see that scene when Sgt. Johnson dies in the Chief's arms saying,"Send me out.......with a bang."

On topic, no I've never fallen asleep while gaming as I usually pace myself enough to not game till 5 am or some such.

i *think* ATLUS handled the localization for both games. i could be wrong. wonder if the parent companies know/care?

Fall over forward zonked and slobbering so that my face hits the analogue game
