Strange Start

It is the start of 2021, it is winter and very cold. On the first night of 2021 I did something I never did before, I fell asleep in virtual reality. What I did was I put youtube on virtual reality mode and put my phone in the VR headset. I then lay down in bed watching a very long youtube playlist. My phone was connected to my Bluetooth earphones so my senses were cut off from my room. Then after two hours I woke up again half way through the playlist, it was a video of a man playing golf in virtual reality, I was watching someone play golf in virtual reality while I was in virtual reality, there is some irony someware. The play list was the 'watchlater' default playlist for saving videos to watch later. My 'watchlater' playlist on YouTube is very long, usually about 5 or 6 hours of video. 

Youtube has two types of virtual reality mode, it has vr mode for normal videos and it has 360 format videos. I put a playlist as normal format videos into VR mode. They appear as a TV screen  in a darkened room and I can turn my head away from the screen, if I press the select button then it will recenter the large virtual TV screen in the darkened room in front of my face. I don't think it's a good idea to fall asleep in virtual reality, someone could burgle my home while I am in virtual reality and I would be oblivious.
