    ok violent video games raise your heart rate, no duh and so what if it lessend your sleep? this study was dumb and extremely un necessary. violent videogames dont do anything to me and playing videogames actually helps relieve stress in some people. i could listen to lamb of god or job for a cowboy (both death metal bands) and get the same heart rate spike as playing video games. videogames and for fun and entertainment end of story.
