Sleeping |

1 | |
I have a few general guidelines for how to live my life. I mostly make them up as I go, but if I've managed to find one I like I mostly keep to it. My latest is; “If you get superowned in grappling by some girl half your size, you should probably take whatever advice she gives”. Well I got superowned this morning, by a girl half my size (not really but still...) and afterwards she referred to me as “you're the guy who doesn't sleep, right?”. And yes, it was the girl from the most embarassing story I've ever posted...
Then she told me the following:
Sleeping is important, you should sleep 6-8 hours each night and it should be in one part not spaced out over a few quickies. It's also nice to sleep during the night rather then the day cause the brain likes to send out melatonin when it's dark and apparently that stuff kicks ass and does a lot of good shit for you.
I read up a little bit about it on wiki and apparently your levels of that crap might be lower if you have some kind of autism, which I may or may not have some light version of. I also feel that I should probably not try to get out of this by buying pills on the internet. First of all I don't like to mess with my brain to much (I get weird when I try fun stuff) and I try to be a blood donor which means that I'll have to state what kind of supplements and such I take every 3 months or so and it's really hard to remember stuff.
September feels like a good month to get on a regular sleeping pattern. I've got to much stuff to do with school, social stuff and other things to actually be able to put in any reasonable amount of hands anyway and it would be good to actually get decent grades on something during my time in law school. Thus I've decided that for September I will not play poker or otherwise be at the computer after 1am in the mornings except if I'm deep in some Sunday tournament or satellite which probably won't happen to often.
Last time I actually slept well was during June, but my sleeping schedule was fairly fucked up anyway. I basically woke up around 5pm, did some stuff during the evening/early afternoon, then I played poker until something like 4am and then I either went to BJJ at 6 in the morning or went to the gym/took a long walk only to get back to bed sometime around 8ish. I remember being annoyed with the sun and such but didn't think that it was such a problem. Come to think if it I didn't really feel that rested either, I don't think. Not to mention the horrors of actually trying to put the day right when I visited my parents and such.
So basically, instead of setting a bunch of goals concering how much I should play, how much I should work out or anything like that I'll set sleeping goals for september.
Wake up 8 am weekdays when I don't have BJJ in the morning and 4.40 when I have it.
Not playing poker after 1 am except on Sundays if I'm deepish in some tournament.
Get a minimum of 5 hours of sleep each day, preferably 7.
Cut down on Red bull and coffee. No coffee/energy drinks after 9 pm except for Sundays.

Mr_Jimmy är en underbar människa och en ganska anständig pokerspelare. Jag skrev såhär på 2+2:
"If MR_Jimmy decides he’ll learn to windsurf they weather will be warm and windy, if he wants to ski it’ll snow in august and if he wants a threesome his gf will fall in bisexual love with Scarlett Johanssen (who’ll obviously not sleep with her unless Jimmy joins in).
Last month I managed to 3barrelbluff him once. It was a spot where I have like 3 combos of air and I’m still pretty sure he miss-click-folded.
I wouldn’t fight Jimmy for money. Both because he’s too nice and also since I’m pretty sure I’d fall and break a bone before I could even walk up to him with any bad intentions.
If Jimmy ever started talking to Chuck Norris I’m fairly sure the fabric of reality would implode." |

i wonder if anyone who plays online poker regularly/semi-professionally has ever kept a decent sleep schedule for over 4 weeks. i realize very few ppl in the world probably accomplish this but ppl working 9-5 if they get fucked up just fight through the day and crash and keep it normal in my experience. it seems that every poker player i have ever met can only be normal for more than a week or so. they can be fine for a while but something happens to fuck em up and they never get back to normal or it just slowly gets later and later and it's a bitch to get up earlier and earlier or stay up all day if you don't have to. |

so true! one of the few cons of being a poker player. i've always tried to fix mine, but like you said, it slowly changes every day and eventually fucks up im either skipping sleep one day to try and fix it, or sleeping 10hrs.. ughh |

JJ is a grappling + a bunch of other crap while BJJ is only grappling, basically. So it's probably better then nothing, and the important part is to start something. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Good point. I think I've slept well for a month or so sometimes. But mostly when I've had lots of school stuff. |

Do not drink caffeine after 3-4 pm.9 pm is too late. Also melatonin pills are AMAZING. Read up on em and decide if you should try em. |
