Default how many hands a day do u try to play?

I am just getting back into playing FR again after a month long breakeven stretch of 6max and decided to give up 6max for a bit and am curious how many hands a day u guys shoot for. When I am playing 12 tables of 9 max I find it hard to play for longer than an hour cuz my mind gets over stimulated from all the stuff that is going on. I seem to have to push myself if I wanna play more than 1k hands a day which I know is not a lot like 2 hrs of play. Is there anything that helps u play longer and not have ur head spin after a while, cuz it seems its like I cant think str8 after a while.

I'd be really happy if I could log 4k/day. However, it usually works out to about 2.6k/day considering all of the days I take off.

Try listening to music if it's not too distracting. This helps me put in hours.

Also make sure you're comfortable (this includes not being tired, hungry/full, etc.) and in a well lit area.

Alternatively, try taking 5minute breaks every hour and see if that helps.

When I played .5/1 I played a set of 1500 hands, which took about 3.5 hours, then I'd take a break and come back for another 1500 hand set. I've now moved up to 1/2, and I'm playing only 4 tables, since my winrate is only around 3BB/100 at each table, as opposed to around 4.5 playing 6 tables at .5/1. I'm working more on game selection so it takes me longer to get the hands in. I usually play 1000 hands, which is the same as playing 1500 hands at 6 tables, but since I leave and startup new tables, it takes more like 4 hours now.

Just break the sessions up more, you could do 2k easy in like 8 sessions of 30 mins over 5 hours. I never play more than an hour without a good break, my head turns to cheese at that point.
