Healthy Gaming Guidelines
Set Time Limits
Establish specific times for gaming and stick to them. Take regular breaks and ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, family, or sleep.
Maintain Balance
Keep gaming as one of many activities in your life. Maintain relationships, hobbies, and responsibilities outside of gaming.
Recognize Warning Signs
Be aware of signs that gaming may be becoming problematic, such as neglecting responsibilities or feeling anxious when not gaming.
Seek Support
Don't hesitate to reach out for help if you're concerned about your gaming habits. Support is available and effective.
Gaming Habits Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly to evaluate your gaming habits:
1. Do you spend more time gaming than you originally intended?
2. Has gaming interfered with your work, school, or relationships?
3. Do you feel anxious or irritable when you can't game?
4. Have you tried to cut back on gaming but found it difficult?
Note: If you answered "Often" or "Always" to multiple questions, consider speaking with a professional about your gaming habits.
