If you are tired, don't play
When you are tired, you are open to making simple mistakes
You will be vulnerable and an easy target
If your mind and body can only put in 5-6 hours a day, then do that, and nothing more

Try different types of games. If you can't do long hours, you can probably do better doing sit and go's (if you can avoid getting bot-ringed or colluded against). You might also want to evaluate why you are playing. If you are putting in time for fun, stakes maybe don't matter for you. The games play differently at different stakes.

Well, you should think of it this way. The average blue collar/white collar worker works anywhere from 7-10 hours a day. Putting in a grind of 5-6 hours doing something you love (hopefully poker), isn't so bad. If it begins to feel more like work, than taking a break or perhaps finding different games like the person above has said may help.
But I reckon that you're putting in 5-6 hours of grind to build your roll. If that's the case, finding different games you're not exactly confident at may in fact deplete your roll.

I try to manage my poker games in a way as far as it concerns time (also BRM ) so as not to bother me and make me feel uncomfortable , very tired , not able to enjoy anymore poker . I choose the days and times to play , I see if I am going to play a tournament , freeroll or normal , for hours if needed .
Of course , sometimes things don't go as planned .
I also believe that some people are more energetic so after many hours of game are still more focused and tiredless than others , but this is part of the game . Most important for me is to have skill , patience , plan

Play as long as you can without losing.
Then the next time - try to play longer without losing.
I am very serious that if you try to play longer and longer - then you will be able to or you will discover your wall that you can not exceed.
Good luck !

Being tired is a sign
When I am doing something I love (not like....LOVE), time is of no consequence. I just love doing it. If poker is not that for you, then long sessions should not be part of your routine. Like someone else posted, you'll start to make small mistakes because a big part of you DOESN'T WANT TO BE THERE...
So, be smart and get up. Do something else. Maybe you'll love it more if you round out your life somewhere else? Just a thought.

Try sit and gos as previously suggested. Also try cash games as well. I prefer the long games, I feel once you learn how to last a long time, it becomes a game of who can last the longest. Good luck.
