Sometimes i play the whole day at TCx1, sometimes over night...
There´s so much you can do meanwhile:

- reading a book (i often do that)
- got more and more coffee (especially when hunting a ship or a convoy, don´t ask why). I know from different books and storys from that time, that a crew have always strong coffee on the bridge while hunting (called "Mittelwächter", extra strong).
- do the dishes (that´s why my wife don´t complain so much while i play)
- in the overnight play.... "Flugzeug in Sicht!!!" jumping out of bed, run like hell to order crash dive
- fall asleep again, listening to the engine roaring, endless same old song...

One day i was too deep in dreams. The wakeup call was a intense drumfire from all sides. I "managed" to slip into a convoy in bad weather. Lucky me the merchants doesn´t have guns in 1940...
Passing the outer protection (a V&W) was the end of my beauty sleep and of the boat too...

You see, i´ve the same "problems". If someone can do some audio for the critical events you described... i would use it forever.
