Logic Games Tetris Effect?

Hi all,

Lately, as I have begun dumping more time into LG (and I mean a considerable amount of time, roughly 4-6 hours a day), they have begun to cloud my dreams. I've woken up at least once every night for the last week because the LG I make up in my dream gets too confusing. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience and what you/they did to mitigate it.

Thanks!

I didn't know what the "Tetris effect" was, but now that I've looked it up, it definitely happened to me with LG. I often noticed myself thinking (both in dreams and in real life) in ways that were similar to going through LG problems. I don't think it's super harmful, but if you're worried, you can always take a break to focus on something else or do something fun, especially if it is messing with your amount/quality of sleep. In that case, it would probably be more beneficial to take a break than it would be to get another LG practice set in.
