Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 12
As you grow increasingly stressed and move into Condition Black, it is common to lose your peripheral vision, a condition commonly referred to as tunnel vision. The more stressed you become, the more narrow the tunnel. There will also be a loss of depth perception, meaning that a threat looks closer than it really is, and a loss of near vision, meaning that you have trouble seeing close things. You literally become "so scared you can't see straight."
