I would take a night or two off each week mad to get some sleep.  Go to bed early and read a book.  I recommend 'Born on a blue day' by Daniel Tammet.  I got this out of the library yesterday afternoon and read it last night.  It is a horrible feeling going to work tired each day, your brain is tired as well for the whole day. 

I remember a post by snoopy once where he commented on playing at night and then working during the day tired.

When I am tired I get a headache.  Did you know that people who suffer from headaches are less likely to get Alzheimer's disease.



get some sleep

true, but when playing poker you must be alert.  when reading a book it is like travelling along a road you know really well, you do it almost subconsciously.  there is no effort while reading and it relaxes the brain

Personally I know I play alot worse when tired and call when I know I should really be folding.
Until a few months ago I was burning the candle at both ends and it was reducing my poker winnings but strangely despite feeling shattered, I have had a bonus and pay rise are work!

I know play less poker and if a tourney finishes around midnight I might play a sit n go but will not now start another tourney which may mean just getting 2-3 hours kip if I go deep.

I guess if lack of sleep doesnt affect your play or work then good luck to you, I know I cant do it!
