Get in touchMarathon-ready: the unglamorous bit
No gummy replaces the basics. Here's the checklist we'd give a friend.
- Pre-load and update before the 19th, so launch night isn't a progress bar. It's a big install, so plan around your data if you're on a capped line.
- Keep the Wi-Fi on. If power cuts are a risk where you live, a small UPS for your router keeps you online.
- Book the Friday off. The 19th is a Thursday, so taking the 20th turns launch night into a long weekend.
- Take a real break every hour or so. Stand up, stretch, and look at something far away.
- Drink water and eat actual food. Gummies are not dinner.
- Plan your sleep. The map will still be there tomorrow. When you finally log off, I AM ASLEEP is our six-herb evening gummy for the hour before bed.
Gamers Gummies are for adults 18 and over. They contain sceletium, so don't combine them with antidepressants or other mood medication, and check with your healthcare provider first if you're pregnant, nursing, on medication or have a medical condition. I AM ASLEEP may cause drowsiness. Delivery times are estimates for South African addresses.
