Sleeping pattern (or lack of)

« on: November 26, 2007, 05:58:54 PM »

Basically my lack of a sleeping pattern is driving me up the wall. Since Friday my sleep has been like this:

Got up Friday 4pm went to pub soon after.
Friday night slept Midnight to 2:30am
Saturday night slept 6pm to 2am
Sunday morning was tired so slept for 2hours 11am to 1pm
Sunday night 1am to 4:30pm (Yes 14 and half hours)

I mean wtf as you may guess i play poker for a living and therefore have no structure that a job keeps you in, I try to re structure to a standard sleeping pattern quite often but alarms are no use it seems as i just ignore cos i know i don't have to get up.

Am I just been a lazy unmotivated git or is there an underlying problem here, I mean not seeing daylight is annoying the hell out of me.

Personally there is no was i could funtion with a sleeping pattern like that. Some people can and dont have any effects at all. Other people would become ill so i guess you got to weigh up what your own body requires. If you get ill a lot with colds, flu's and chesty bugs then your immune system probably can't handle the lack of routine:) If you are going to keep this kind of routine up, make sure you make time for some exercise and food:) They will keep you in tip top shape:)

Good luck with your poker

Have you not tried a schedule Longy? Obv games are aviailable 24/7 to an interent pro. Why not try and stick to sessions, 12pm - 2.30pm, hours break, then 3.30pm - 5.30pm, break for food etc and chill for a couple of hours, then try a 3 hour session lator on, say 9pm-12pm?

O change these to suit 'fishy traffic' i guess, whatever time you think they may be about...

Nothing unusual in that at all Longy, based on the lifestyle to go with it.
You get less sleep when you consume alcohol, and the rest of the time your playing catch up so sleep at unusual times. The 14 hour stint is your bodies way of saying your knackered.
Nothing wrong with being up most of the night so long as you get regular sleep, at a consistent time to counter this.

I am in a similar spot, the day is just a 24 hour period with no descernable night or day.

personally im a morning and night person.

There is nothing i love more than being up playing poker at 3am with my window open with the moon shining through, apart from being up at 6 am when its just getting light and walking the dogs.

I hate having loads of sleep and dont need much more than 4hrs sleep, if i have more than 7 im yawning all day and rubbing my eyes.

But having said that, i still have structure, 3am is my cut off at night and as i know i can still get in 4 hrs before getting up for work, it really isnt good for you to have irregular sleeping times as it puts a lot of stress on ur mind and your body.

Do u want structure though longy, if you do, it is surprisingly easy to achieve if you have a modicum (sp) of discipline.
