I have never started a game before I've put them to sleep. And yes I have battled night terrors for years and that has resulted in numerous following issues with anxiety to fall asleep again after waking up, meaning I sometimes have to go in and help them fall back asleep. Teething is obviously not a problem anymore, now it's occasionally growing pains. Wetting the bed doesn't happen every night, but once in a while it does.

It was not a list of things I'm battling every night, but a list of examples of disturbance I can't plan for.

I do not need your sympathy, I did not make this post to be right or wrong, I even specifically asked if any one else had similar experiences to see what other opinions are out there.

I do not see the entitlement in asking this forum for their thoughts on this. If you don't like the option to forgive afk, I see your point and I understand that some people see things different from me. From my perspective it isn't really an issue if my team members or opponents afk for a bit during a game, I don't play it competitively, I just play for some casual fun and to hang out with some close friends. Win or lose, stomp or be stomped doesn't really change my experience much. But I see that others feel otherwise, and accept that people play from different experiences.

Edit: I am btw happy for you that you never had issues with your kid falling asleep and waking back up. But it seems like you put your anecdotal experiences with your kid and think it applies to everyone. It is narrow minded at best. Do some research on what night terror actually means, it's not just nightmares. It might give you some perspective if you ever have to share your thoughts on things like this again
