To: Tell It Right
IMHO lack of sleep can be a factor. One thing about gamers is they intend to not get enough sleep — often a catalyst in seizures.

I agree. Up way past bedtime staring at a screen that is likely strobing away....ugh.

There’s no way that epilepsy and strobing lights go together. Even in normally healthy people continued exposure to strobes can cause really, really weird effects.. Even some of the new style light bulbs that are available can have long term effects. There’s a reason that the strobe lights of the disco era aren’t around anymore-—they sometimes knocked people out. And if that wasn’t weird enough wait until the microwaves from 5G phones mix with the strobe effects of video games? We’re going to lose a generation of otherwise useful people.

Even fluorescent lights can give off a strobe effect. They can’t be used in machine shops because they sometimes mask the motion of a spinning machine making it appear “off”. And fluorescent lights can, in turn, cause a seizure in an epileptic——been there-—seen it happen. This little gal had some poor guidance it seems.
