Online tournaments run 24 hours a day, so my advice is to play some, which start earlier in your time zone. These might then have smaller fields, but this makes it easier to reach the final table, so as far as I am concerned, its a win-win. I have more or less realised, that even if I get the bankroll and the skills, I am probably never going to be playing a tournament like the Sunday Million on a regular basis, because I am simply to old and tired to be playing half way through the night

You must start the tournaments as refreshed as possible.
Try taking a shower, having a coffee before playing. And stay well hydrated while playing it.
You can also play Turbo Tournaments, which are much more dynamic and faster.

tournaments that start earlier for me have a small prize pool. When a person is old, it’s hard for him to play long MTT tournaments. But still, I would recommend you the Sunday storm tournament, it is long, but there is a large prize pool, and you can get into the prizes after 3 hours of play!Online tournaments run 24 hours a day, so my advice is to play some, which start earlier in your time zone.

turbo tournaments are too dynamic and gambling for me, in which a lot depends on luck, not skill. So I try not to play them

If you are sleepy or rather relax that day.
If you play at all costs, shake yourself a little. Green or Mate tea can also come in handy at this point (possibly coffee).
The important thing is to have the focus while playing.
Good luck.

I believe that preparing for the tournament is a very important process, no less than the game itself. Preparing for the tournament directly affects the result. I usually try to rest well and get some sleep. Given that I have a free schedule, I have never had a problem with this.

of course, the best advice would be to adjust your daily routine to play MTT. that is, if you get up early and start playing quite late, then of course you will want to sleep. You need to sit down to play at a time when you are cheerful and full of energy, it does not matter whether it is day or night. also sports and fresh air have not been canceled)

Hi! I have the same problem, but I have to get up early in the morning and I don't get enough sleep. I can only play in the evening. What can I try to do in this case? To cheer up, you can sleep before the tournament, take a contrast shower, drink coffee,eat bitter chocolate, take a walk in the fresh air, do exercises, turn on invigorating music, you can also try aromatherapy, there are aromas that are invigorating. Good luck!

I think it's not a problem to find good tournaments every week if you don't play very much. If you are completely free and poker is your main activity, I think you need to change your daily routine. Perhaps you should go to bed earlier and Wake up before the start of the main tournaments. It is possible to consider the option when you go to bed early in the morning, but I do not like this option, because by the end of the tournament you will be tired and also want to sleep.. The best option is to get some sleep before the tournament starts. Of course, you can use coffee, energy drinks, but this is bad for your health.. I don't think this should be done.. If you play at night, it is better to play on a hard chair, in front of the monitor and be sure to turn on a good light. Do not play lying down, with a smartphone, tablet or in a chair, on the couch where the eyes will close themselves . I would advise you to do sports during the game, squats, push-UPS, anything that will help raise your heart rate.

multi-table FTW
I will often load up several tourneys - even if the buyin/payout is smaller than I normally play. This keeps me focused and alert. I will often be playing 4-6 tables at a time (tourneys) and this requires nearly 100% attention. I find - even if I am tired - I do not realize I am, until I have either busted out of events or events have concluded - and I only have one remaining tourney.
Oddly - the three largest scores of my short poker career - have all been late night /early morning events where I'm dog tired. But the exhilaration of being close to winning is enough to power through the sleepiness.
GL bud.
Interesting - I usually try to diffuse from day-job work by resting a bit and taking my mind totally off of 'work' stuff. This includes poker thoughts. I spend time with family and the dogs/cats before starting a game. Once my games start - I often will load up a smaller buyin event to keep the action going - so I do not get sleepy/bored, when the cards/opportunities aren't appearing in my bigger games.
Cool idea - I'm gonna try this one.
Concur.
For myself - I also only play in evenings after work. I do not have unlimited time to play except on weekends when family schedule is light.
