I wish sleep wasn't so appealing now.

I think the type of game really makes a difference. Games with fetch quests, a laundry list of waypoints on a map, and tons of bland cutscenes in between simple gameplay put me to sleep now.
Challenging games keep me better occupied, because it's fun to be solving a puzzle of some sort (even if that puzzle is "how to approach this boss"). Strategy and tactics are consistently fun for me too.
This is why I have such a soft spot for From Software games. I don't care if I have to die 30 times trying to cross a bridge it'll still keep me engaged trying to figure out a way or just mastering the technique rather than play another Assassin's Creed tailing mission for 30 minutes following some braindead ai.
FromSoft games are my absolute favorite. Seeing myself getting better and mastering a challenge is peak fun to me.
I have a habit of playing those for a few days and then becoming so enraged I put it down for a year. I actually just picked PS3 Demon's Souls to finally get platinum.
The frustration is understandable and I don't blame anyone for rage quitting, on that note I admire your courage to actually pick up Demon's Souls. May your controller have the fortitude to accept your wrath and remain whole.
