Healthy Play Guidelines

To ensure your gaming experience remains enjoyable and balanced, we recommend following these guidelines:

Set Time Limits

Decide how much time you want to spend playing and stick to it. Consider using timers or alarms to help manage your session length.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen every 30-45 minutes. Stretch, hydrate, and rest your eyes to maintain comfort and focus.

Balance with Other Activities

Make sure gaming is just one of many activities you enjoy. Maintain social connections, physical activity, and other hobbies.

Avoid Late Night Sessions

Limit gaming before bedtime to ensure quality sleep. The blue light from screens can interfere with your natural sleep cycle.

Recognizing Healthy Play Patterns

Healthy gaming is part of a balanced lifestyle. Here are signs that you're maintaining a positive relationship with gaming:

  • You play for enjoyment and relaxation
  • Gaming doesn't interfere with work, study, or relationships
  • You can easily stop playing when needed
  • You maintain other interests and activities
  • You feel positive about your gaming experience

When to Take a Break

Consider taking a break from gaming if you notice any of these signs:

  • Spending more time gaming than you intended regularly
  • Neglecting responsibilities, relationships, or self-care
  • Feeling irritable or restless when not playing
  • Using gaming to escape from problems or negative feelings
  • Continuing to play despite negative consequences
