Has any of you ever been so bored that you became dizzy, or the room started spinning?

I remember in a high school chemistry class, someone said this.  I dismissed it until a few years later when I was in a college English class, someone said the exact same thing.

I don't know why I'm bringing this up now, so many years later.  But I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this first hand.

that's funny, I recall I used to nod off in english class as well (back in high school)

I'm talking more about getting dizzy or disoriented from boredom rather than getting sleepy or falling asleep.

Boredom -> Drowsiness -> Spinning room.

I was lacking sleep yesterday and fought to stay awake in class. The class wasn't particularly boring (well, not for those who enjoy morphology and gaussian pyramids).. sitting there for 2 hours was what made me disoriented. I guess that was what narcolepsy felt like.

I don't get bored.  If I feel myself starting to get bored, I retreat into my own world containing whatever I've been doing recently (current world contains: My LCS story, mafia games, Haruhi Suzumiya (reading the novels now), the newspaper I get every day, world events...) and that can keep me entertained for... well... ages.  I become rather unresponsive when in this state - I'm told it looks like I've entered a trance.

Ditto.  Except when I do this I have to walk around.  Usually in circles, which leads to some strange looks I don't really notice.

Double ditto.

I lie down and do it. It's my 'creative phase'.

I never achieve anything.

Comedy Gold!  :-D


Yeah, If I'm ever bored in class I write down little writings of my own, quite fun.  Keeps you going.  Like, sometimes I'll do mafia theory or sometimes I'll do little ancedotes.

[Vester]

When I'm bored I doodle.

Or write.

Or sleep. Or go jogging.

Anything as long as I don't just sit there.

One time, I got so bored in Study hall, I just stared at the wall until it started talking to me.

Same here, I got it from running circles late at night.

How did you get yours?

I think it's an effect of growing up. I noticed when I was younger that if I rested my head lower than my shoulders for too long a period, the world would start spinning and I would get nauseus. Perhaps when you're bored, your head is too low or something?
