I've noticed that poker has caused me insomnia, I do not know if it's stress or anxiety when I'm playing, and in you poker causes me to change.

Any case you give a lot of time to leaves a mark on us! I noticed that I begin to calculate the probability that an event will occur in everyday life.

I remember a spate of games back in the early 2000s where i chose the wrong games and as a result either ran deep or lasted a considerable time and ended up going to bed after 3am..after a week of this, i found it really difficult to get to sleep as my pattern had been disrupted, it took me 3 weeks to get back to some normality, i vowed from that day never to play a regular run of late games...

When I first started playing poker it was just awful I could not sleep at all I was just thinking about poker about combinations and how much money I could win ... Now I don’t have that, I just play for fun!

It causes me not insomnia at all about the games, that I play.
But sometimes I too late in bed because of poker, either because I am playing too long or I am railing some team mates too long. :D
Or just at all I am reading to long in Cardschat.

It also happened to me. In the end we must always regulate the theme of the times, and more if we play MTT

I am not a specialist but I think that gambling games (when you lose a lot of money) is often connected with stress, insomnia, depression and anxiety.

the same thing happens to me, willing to play again, thinking about some plays, what I could have done differently.

For me that's truth, when you play MTT until 3am

If you play late and before the game used to go to bed on time you can break your sleep and get insomnia . A person who is overexcited shortly before sleep can also suffer from insomnia. You should limit your poker game. Otherwise, you will have to be treated later.

If I play poker before bed, I can't sleep , I have to take pills. Better to play poker in the morning or afternoon.

Well, maybe if you worry and worry a lot, you can get insomnia, I try to relax after each tournament session or distract myself with something else so as not to think about losses and losses!

If you play after work till late in the night and you need to get up early in the morning frequently this can definitely disrupt your normal cycle of life. If you plan well your games it should not be a problem.

I've also had some sleepless nights playing poker. Sometimes you get a tournament in the evening and you end up doing well, but the same tournament will end almost in the morning, and if you're doing well in a tournament, it's not just sleep that goes away in me, particularly until the hunger passes . Good luck at the tables my friend.

Its probably from staring at computer--eye strain. Just give yourself an hour of not staring at computer or TV before you go to bed and I think you would notice a big difference.

in my opinion, when a person plays poker for money and there is no exact mode of play, there is a tendency to overwhelm mentally and this is not good in the long run and some of the problems are insomnia

Hello.
I also sometimes have insomnia.
Try to meditate at least 10-15 minutes a day.
Meditation always helps me to normalize my condition in such cases.

when I started to play, incredible as it may seem, when playing in the night and going to bed, I could not sleep thinking about the hands that I missed and the hands that I lost in tournaments, and that made me sleep too. Nowadays, no more, with experience in the game aligned with the studies, I know that everything that happened was normal, so I sleep much more quietly :D:D:D:D
