Idk, i’m 30 and i fairly regularly pull all-nighters. Does take a bit longer to recover tho
Not a problem if you slept all day.
When I hit 30, I indeed felt like I aged rapidly and could no longer pull all nighters. Life happened and I changed my job from IT to manufacturing. I was no longer sitting around on my ass all day, but actually working my body.
Few years in, I feel younger than I did at 30 and have zero issues gaming all night.
All I can suggest is do resistance training (top tier activities are running, swimming and dancing. Pretty much anything that builds cardio without excessively building mass).
To make this even more sad, consider that the Atari 2600 - probably the first real commercial gaming success story came out in 1977. That means a very large proportion of the gaming community are in their 50s
I’m not only tired, I want you damn kids to get off my lawn
I think that is more a you problem. My work is the only thing holding me back from gaming all night.
30+ year old gamers trying to pull an all nighter: I’m tired, boss.
- smoke meth
- hail satan
- thank me later
Nearly 50 here: I’ve had the urge to do an all-nighter for weeks now but I know I probably couldn’t pull it off and that I’d be a wreck for 36 hours afterward.
I’m gaming at least 6hrs a day. Rarely go to bed before 4am. I’m >50, it’s possible 😁
And we still do cultural outside shit all day, so it’s not that.
My previous job at a factory with rotating day/night shifts gave me an apparently lifelong case of sleep disorders. My “eight hours of uninterrupted sleep” is more or less indistinguishable from my “one coffee after pulling an all-nighter in Factorio”.
How late does it need to be to count as an all nighter? Because I havent gone all the way since I was 28.
