Can Poker Cause Insomnia?

[eberetta1]

Yeah. Not much money to be made in poker during the 9 to 5 time frame monday thru fridays. so i believe a poker player makes their money on swing shift, midnite shift, or weekends. So I can easily see a person getting to bed at 3:00 a.m.

I figure it is no different for a gamer either. Whether they play the Xbox or Playstation. Bedtime at 3:00 a.m.

I believe that anyone who may have such a case is a patient
There's a time when gambling addiction... Maybe he wants to win too much, and that's what's causing it.
But it's also possible that he keeps going down, losing everything, and still can't win, and because of that, he can't sleep.
So it can, but it's not healthy anymore, I think.
Of course, if you do, it's hard for you to admit you're an addict.

when we win then naturally there will be no sleep. When I'm getting ready for a big game, I don't sleep.

It's true that tournaments can be time-consuming and can make it hard to sleep. It may be a good idea to schedule a time for cash games, etc.

 

[deputat777]

Personally, after a long game of poker, I fall asleep very quickly)

Do you think poker can cause insomnia? I believe so. I can not sleep before 3 o'clock in the morning playing poker, I think it's the anxiety of being able to succeed in the game and trying to win, and you, too, have insomnia.

Ye, it can. It does.

 

[Dangames8282]

yes you can, if you don't have 1 right schedule for rest.

 

[alabos]

Dont know but never quitt tournament until the end ....lollll. Tough too quit

Poker puts me to sleep it is so oftenly boring.

 

[Jedrey]

I try to play in the afternoon and early evening, at most until 11 pm, not every day, because I love to spend the night watching something with my wife.
I try to get a good night's sleep to start the day well.

 

[Uzbek707]

if you win then naturally you will have insomnia.

 

[ChickenArise]

In my case I think that sometimes insomnia has led to poker.

 

[korbal29]

Actually the opposite is true, after a lengthy tournament I sleep like a baby

 

[pjokay]

Easily as it can bugger up your sleeping pattern if you are playing late into the night. If it messes up you bodily clock it can easily mess up your body clock and cause insomnia.

 

[thiagotup197]

not if you control yourself with your mind and body

 

[peaceofcoke]

There is a lot of things that can cause insomnia, ergo, poker can!
Btw, Im planning to be insomniac when I die

 

[jesusali1]

An excellent piece of advice given to me by some friends who play this excellent game is that not every day is a gambling day, but that you always have to take a few breaks. Gambling addiction is a negative aspect of this game, but of every game of chance, of course, never fall into it.

For me I think that is totally possible. I must be honestly that never read nothing regarding this issue, but for me experiency I see that when we´re playing a tournmant is very dificult to sleep, and sleept the amount of hours is less that the necessary for sure!!!

 

[danoscar]

For me, when I am doing well, I have a tendency to stay up for awhile.

 

[Natta777]

It's the opposite for me. Since I play in the evening, poker puts me to sleep. Sometimes I sleep during a long tournament. It's good that there is a signal for sleepy people like me. After the game, I disconnect immediately. In the evening, the game is like sleeping pills for me.

 

[srurrr]

No. I'm not insomniac. I sleep 9 hours a day, even after playing poker. Because I play poker until I win. I am also prepared for poker. If you feel unwell or feel sick, stop that day.

 

[carlosnuno]

I don't think so, the reality is that people sometimes have problems with gambling and that is what the vice of gambling causes insomnia

 

[Tomek416]

It does not cause insomnia in my case. I mostly play in the early morning and almost never late at night.

 

[aviatorsam]

Absolutely! I think my poker insomnia is beyond help

 

[aleomar86]

The same thing happens to me, when I play several hours I am very anxious and I find it difficult to sleep.
